well. |

An excellent site for finding where
in the world penguins live. There is an interactive world map so you
click on an area and see if/what penguins live there. At the bottom of
the page, you can search by specific penguin species. |

| Pete and Barb's
Penguin Pages |
Peter is a physicist and Barbara is in IT. However, most of the links worked and the
organization of this very large site is good. There is a page that shows
small photos and brief descriptions of all 17 species, an FAQ sheet, and
a Teacher's Resources sections that has activities broken down by age
group. In the Up to 6 years old area, there are penguin jokes. |

Snares crested, Erect-crested, Rockhopper. There is also a FAQ

The game is fun and TIME CONSUMING. The creature feature

get to Fun Facts. |

| A Page for
Teachers |
Here are lesson plans about penguins collected by Jim
Cornish, a wonderfully generous educator in Gander, Newfoundland. I
particularly liked
these
ideas. He
also found many of the other links on this page. |
