A Week of Penguin Fun

This week we finished up our penguin unit.  We learned all about the different kinds of penguins, worked on a mini-research writing paper, built an edible penguin (and ate it - YUM), waddled like a penguin with an egg on our feet, and finally finished with a science experiment.  We became penguins and put our hands in ice cold water.

The kids had a blast.  Talk about some real life learning fun!!


Making an Edible Penguin



and..........eating it!!!

Waddling Like a Penguin







Becoming a Penguin!
Our skin was the blubber, the soft glove was our feathers, and the purple rubber glove
became the oil on our feathers.
BURRRRRRRRR!
Serious scientists getting ready for the experiment.
