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.
