Terrific Thursday-Penguins




Penguins only live south of the equator, did you know that? The biggest one, the emperor Penguin can be over 4ft tall. Some penguins, like the chinstrap penguin makes their nest using little pebbles. Penguins living in cold climates use blubber to stay warm and we did a science experiment to test which hand stayed warm. The one in the blubber bag or the bare hand, of course the blubber one stayed warm. The kids really enjoyed it. Lola talked about penguins for days after this lesson. She even wanted to make sure her toy penguins were safe from predators like seals.
