Room 8

Check out this great clip and see how Antarctica was formed from the giant continent of Gondwanaland millions of years ago. Thanks Mrs Chao for finding this interesting video.

Can you answer these questions about Gondwanaland?
- Can you name the 7 continents we have today which were created from Gondwanaland?
- How long ago was it that Antarctica became surrounded by water?
- How do we know Gondwana ever existed?
More to think about:
- Why do you think Antarctica only had a few animals even before it became so cold?
- How did Antarctica beome covered in ice?
