Penguin Palooza

Students will discover the world of penguins in our virtual adaptation of our Penguin Palooza program. Through investigation of biofacts, examining maps and virtually touring the Penguin Plunge, students learn about penguins and are guided to reflect on the question, “How does the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo make a home for penguins?” to determine why zoos are important and how they can benefit our animals.
