The lastest Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears cyberzine issue is focussed on Arctic and Antarctic Birds,  and was co-produced with the the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. It promises to provide you with exciting new ways to further your BirdSleuth studies!

One particularly engaging resource follows CLO researchers Gerrit Vyn and Martha Fischer as they travel to Bathurst Island in the high Arctic to record bird and other animal sounds in our Reseacher Stories article. Be sure to check out the related podcast episode. Gerrit and Martha talk about their expedition, and BirdSleuth Project Leader Jennifer Fee discusses citizen-science projects that can engage kids in authentic research. You can find the new podcast article in the Professional Learning department.

A scientific study designed by BirdSleuth fourth-grade students, who studied bird behavior in cold weather, is also included!

There's great content to be found... you are sure to learn something and get an idea for a lesson! Do you want to know more about birds and their adaptations? This month’s Science Content Knowledge article discusses some of the birds that live in or migrate to the polar regions and how birds stay warm in cold weather. The issue also includes lessons and activities, misconceptions, a virtual bookshelf, and informational text written for students. Use the Feature Story, “The Dance of Life,” to study bird migration and help your students improve their questioning skills.
