1. INVESTIGATING WHY PENGUINS FORAGE THERE: PILOTING GLIDERS * Lesson Plan PPT to use with students *

2. Your Mission Interpret your data to find the best path to navigate the glider to sample the ocean conditions in the area to test this hypothesis.

3. Parameters of Challenge  Navigate the glider into the convergence zones OR areas with lots of penguins.  Pick 4 waypoints (latitude and longitude) for the glider to go between the start and end points to sample the ocean conditions.  Plot the chosen waypoints on your worksheets and explain the reasons behind your choice.

4. How do we navigate a glider? Waypoint 1 Waypoint 2 Stop Start Glider is heading towards the Stop point Depth Longitude Latitude

11. What would we find in the ocean?

13. Daily Questions 1. What do you think may be going on in the ocean that may cause penguins to forage in certain places?

14. Daily Questions 1. What do you think may be going on in the ocean that may cause penguins to forage in certain places? 2. If we are interested in understanding why penguins forage where they do, how can we choose a path for the glider to learn more about the ocean and the penguins?
