Engineers, what is wrong here?

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

Boulders Beach is on the coast of South Africa.
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

Boulders Beach Penguins
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!

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

How bad is climate change?Are we to blame?
8
But how can we help?
For starters, we can conserve energy so we dont
use as many fossil fuels in power plants!
What can we do at home to help the penguins?
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

What about in the summer?
Convection
In the summer, its HOT! Heat transfers into our
houses!
Radiation
Now where is the heat going?
Conduction

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!
