(Lesson 18: Grades K-1) Why do penguins have wings if they can't fly? by Rebecca Rimoldi https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/ozi6awoz5mzvl3wk Gateway Science Time! en-us 2020-05-16 03:32:48 UTC 2024-12-08 22:08:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f427.png Hello Scholars! rebeccarimoldi https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/ozi6awoz5mzvl3wk/wish/576295246 Penguins are birds that live in Antarctica.  Scientists believe there may be as many as 100 million penguins in the world. Penguins have black and white feathers and they waddle when they walk. Penguins are good swimmers.  They spend most of their time in the water searching for food. Penguins eat seafood. Their main diet is fish, though they’ll also eat squid, and small shrimp like animals called krill.  They are very comfortable in the water as they spin, jump and dive, and as they play and search for food.  Penguins are interesting birds because penguins have wings but can not fly.  I wonder why that is?  Why would a penguin have wings if it can't fly?  Let's discover the answer to this question together!]]> 2020-05-16 03:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/ozi6awoz5mzvl3wk/wish/576295246 Step #1: Listen to Video Lesson rebeccarimoldi https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/ozi6awoz5mzvl3wk/wish/576295352 Essential Question:  Why do penguins have wings if they can't fly?

We have arms that also don't work for flying. But we can invent machines that help us fly like birds, swim like fish, and even go to outer space! Draw or list inventions you know of that help us travel in air, water, or space. Then be an inventor. Invent a new way people can travel.]]> 2020-05-16 03:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccarimoldi/ozi6awoz5mzvl3wk/wish/576297560
