Engineers, what is wrong
here?
There are penguins all over the world, not
just in Antarctica.
The red dots indicate where penguins live.
There are penguins all over the southern hemisphere.
Even in South Africa…
Boulders Beach is on the coast of
South Africa.
Here, the Boulders Beach penguins live. As the climate across the globe
changes, these penguins are getting hot. To keep from overheating, they
cool off in the water. But this survival technique has not worked in
their favor…
Boulders Beach Penguins
So the park rangers have built the
penguins little houses to protect
their eggs AND to help keep
them cooler.
The sea gulls are stealing their eggs!
This is helping them survive!
Climate change is causing penguins in Antarctica to
become endangered by eliminating available
habitats
How bad is climate change?
Are we to blame?
But how can we help?
What can we
do at home to
help the
penguins?
For starters,
we can
conserve
energy so we
don’t use as
many fossil
fuels in power
plants!
How can we conserve energy at
home?
What do
you think
the arrows
represent?
Where is
the heat
going?
What time of
year do you
think this is?
What about in the summer?
In the summer, it’s
HOT! Heat
transfers into our
houses!
Now
where is
the heat
going?
We need to slow down heat transfer.
Keep heat out in the summer…
Keep heat inside in the winter…
Use less energy to heat and cool our homes.
In other words, we need to stop the
from happening!
Conserving energy is the key to help…
