Before Watching
-
Have students locate the Kalahari on a map of Africa. What is
its longitude and latitude? In which countries of Africa will
you find the Kalahari? Tell students that the Kalahari has
surface temperatures as high as 70°C (158°F) and
scarce and unpredictable rainfall. Have them think about what
animals need to survive living there. Make a web of their ideas.
As they watch the program, have students develop a list of
survival strategies used by animals.
After Watching
-
Revisit students' lists about factors necessary to survive in
the Kalahari. Which factors seem most important?
