Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Emperor penguins are threatened by habitat loss because the ice they live on is melting into the sea.
- •
Rising temperatures caused by climate change are causing the ice to melt faster, which means penguins have less space to breed.
- •
If temperatures continue to rise and the ice continues to melt, penguins could become extinct by 2100, but tackling climate change can help them survive.
