Original Prompt

Create a comprehensive learning resource about a different Arctic animal (such as a polar bear, Arctic hare, or musk ox) following the same structure: vocabulary definitions, habitat information, survival adaptations, diet, behaviors, and comprehension questions with critical thinking activities.

This learning resource explores the Arctic fox, focusing on its incredible adaptations that allow it to survive in the harsh, cold tundra environment. Students will learn about the Arctic fox's physical features, such as its changing fur color, compact body shape, and furry paws, which provide insulation and camouflage. The resource also covers the fox's diet as an opportunistic omnivore and its behaviors, including hunting techniques and family life in underground dens. Comprehension questions and reflection activities encourage students to engage with the material and think critically about the impact of climate change on the Arctic fox's habitat.
