Discuss the name Antarctica. What could it mean? Where does it come from?

Use questions like:

  • What do these photos tell us about Antarctica?
  • What's the weather like?
  • The conditions?
  • How would it feel to be there?
  • What are problems of being there?
  • How could these be overcome?
  • What sort of animals live there?
  • How do they survive?
  • What sort of adaptions have they made to living there?
  • What special clothes/equipment would you need there?

These will give a start into the topic and get the children involved.
