Curriculum 2: Awesome AntarcticaAntarctica, its icy landscapes, its cool colours, its dramatic scenery and stunning wildlife, is one of the most beautiful and wild places in the world. But this polar world is changing and we need to do something now to prevent that change from going too far. At a very simple level, it is about reducing how much we pollute and take from our world and trying to live more sustainably.

Curriculum 3: Ice CoolSeeing icebergs floating silently by in the Southern Oceans is a truly inspiring sight. But they remind us that the fresh water they carry is something vital to all life and something we need to use wisely and well. This section is all about ice and water and its importance in sustaining life in our world. |

Curriculum 4: Perfect PenguinsThere is something very captivating about penguins. They look like little people as they waddle around the rocky shoreline and across icy horizons. But these characterful, curious little creatures are also incredibly caring of their young, withstanding bitterly cold weather to protect their offspring. For all their comical characters, penguins are pretty perfect when it comes to surviving in Antarctica, and this section explores just how. |
