Parental Guidance
The class discusses polar bears’ eating habits, including how they hunt seals on the ice and the challenges they face when food is scarce due to shrinking sea ice. Additionally, we explore the impact of climate change on polar bears, including the melting of their sea ice habitat and the threats this creates for their survival. While presented in an age-appropriate and hopeful manner, some learners may find the topics of hunting, food scarcity, or environmental threats upsetting.
