Landforms of the Arctic and Antarctic Regions

Both of the boys are learning about the Polar Regions this month.  I have shared our Polar Animals Sensory Bin last week, and today I’m sharing what Mavi has been working on.  While Vito is having tray works, Mavi on the other hand is learning about the difference between the landforms of the Arctic Circle and the Antarctica.  This activity is vital in understanding the environment in both regions.


So while Antartica is a huge land mass covered mostly in ice and located in the south pole, the Arctic Circle is mainly an area located in the north pole and includes several larger islands.  The islands in the Arctic region are comprised of Greenland, and borders of Canada, Russia and the Scandinavian countries.

Using plasticine (white for Antartica and green for Arctic) Mavi created the specific landforms for visual presentation.  We use these fact cards from Arctic and Antarctic Mini Unit Activities Learning Pack as guide.


Seen below is Mavi’s interpretation of the Arctic and Antartic landforms.  He added land and water form cards that best describes the Polar regions.  The land and water form cards we used were from Tower High Learning in the UK.  But if you are in the US, you can purchase this at Amazon.


He’s checking his work by reading our fact cards which is included in Arctic and Antarctic Mini Unit Activities Learning Pack.

More Polar-themed activities in the coming days as we progress, I promise to share it with you! Hope this post helps in inspiring you with your homeschool activities.
