PENGUIN PLAYGROUND

Upon hearing that third graders were working on a unit about penguins I decided to create a blog post that is all about the birds that can't fly.  I hope you enjoy what I have created for youl

 

 

I heard that one third grade teacher wanted to compare the skeleton of a human with one of a penguin.  What an awesome idea!!!!!!!!!  I liked that idea so much I decided to help with it a little bit.

In order to compare and contrast the two skeletons, I would suggest using “Post It” in Classtools.net.  All you have to do is upload the two pictures into “Post It”.  Then follow directions.  Click on a Post It note and add the desired text.  Then draw a line to the skeletal part from the Post It note.  I have attached the two skeletal photos.

 

 

You can easily find both the human and penguin skeletons online.  And speaking of games, if you want to see how the skeleton works check out the site below. This is an interactive site in which students can manipulate a human skeleton to see how it moves.  Click on the picture below.
