Synopsis
Students learn about the Atlantic Puffin’s recovery in Maine and design solutions to help counter the impacts of rising sea levels on their burrows on Eastern Egg Rock Island.
Inquire: Students explore the design of burrows made by Atlantic Puffins as well as human-made burrows and apply this information to their own design ideas.
Investigate: Students come up with a solution to help Atlantic Puffins as sea levels put Eastern Egg Rock and its burrows at risk.
Inspire: Students explain their solution designs and select ideas to be submitted to Project Puffin. Optionally, students can work together to fundraise at least $100 to adopt a puffin and fund the research of one Atlantic Puffin.
