2. There are penguins all over the world, not just in Antarctica.
The red dots indicate where penguins live.
There are penguins all over the southern hemisphere.
Even in South Africa…

3. Boulders Beach is on the coast of South Africa.

Video on Boulder’s Beach penguins (optional):
Here, the Boulders Beach penguins live. As the climate across the globe
changes, these penguins are getting hot. To keep from overheating, they
cool off in the water. But this survival technique has not worked in
their favor…

So the park rangers have built the penguins little houses to protect their eggs AND to help keep them cooler.
The sea gulls are stealing their eggs!
This is helping them survive!

5. Climate change is causing penguins in Antarctica to become endangered by eliminating available habitats

8. But how can we help? What can we do at home to help the penguins?
For starters, we can conserve energy so we don’t use as many fossil fuels in power plants!

9. How can we conserve energy at home?
What do you think the arrows represent?
Convection
Where is the heat going?
Radiation
What time of year do you think this is?
Conduction

10. What about in the summer?
Convection
In the summer, it’s HOT! Heat transfers into our houses!
Radiation
Now where is the heat going?
Conduction

11. We need to slow down heat transfer.
Keep heat out in the summer… Keep heat inside in the winter… Use less energy to heat and cool our homes.
In other words, we need to stop the
from happening!
Radiation
Conduction
Convection

12. Conserving energy is the key to help…
Save
