Save the Penguins!

Today we finished our penguin unit by watching Happy Feet and discussing all the aspect of the movie (the types of penguins, the adaptations they had, the predators, the habitats, etc.)

After watching Happy Feet, the students had to build a nest to save the penguins! We used ice cubes as the penguins and a lamp to be the sun.
Check it out!











This one was the winner!
