Compare and contrast the two poles as you watch this film. Using attractive animation, characteristics of the Arctic and Antarctic regions are presented with straightforward narration by a young lady. Viewers find out about the physical features, resident animals, and the factors that contribute to the climate in both environments. Consider following the video by drawing a Venn diagram on the board and having your class contribute to filling it in.
