What’s Included?
The preview shows Arctic hare, Arctic fox, snowy owl, whale, and penguin pages. The pack includes a penguin comparison page, but penguins are not native to the Arctic. Use it to distinguish northern and southern wildlife.
Be a Fact-Checking Explorer
The Arctic is the region around the North Pole. Penguins do not live there naturally. Find the Arctic and Antarctica on a globe, then put the penguin page beside the southern region for comparison.
Read critically: Some statements in the printable need a species-specific check, particularly the whale passage. Different whale species have different sizes and behaviors; an adult should check details with a current reference before teaching them as general facts.
