Our study of Penguins...

          

A couple of weeks ago, my DS had a animal science class at our co-op where they learned about "Penguins"... He became really interested in learning more about them, so we are going to do some more with them this week...  We're going to do a unit on Mr. Popper's Penguins... I found a unit to help with this here. 

1. We will be finding out where they live

2. Naming / labeling the continents

3. Making Antartica with sugar cubes                                  

4. Doing a science experiments on why ice melts        

5. Review thermometers and their use

Then we will talk about the penguins.

1.What they look like

2. Label the parts

3. Make some construction paper penguins

4. Talk about their waterproof feathers for science

5. Label the different species of penguins

I have a penguin video and we will also be watching "March of the Penguins"...

Enchanted Learning has all kinds of worksheets and information to use with the penguin study...

Belinda Mooney also has some great "Penguin" printables that we are going to be able to use with both kidlets for math and some games...You can find them here.

 Happy Learning!!!
