Why Don't Ducks Get Wet? by Mrs. Yarger https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7 We read the book, Ducks Don't Get Wet by: Augusta Goldin. We learned ducks have oil glands near their tail. The Ducks preen by dipping their bill into the oil gland and smearing the oil onto their feathers. en-us 2016-11-10 19:21:24 UTC 2026-01-03 17:48:17 UTC hello@padlet.com #1) We decided to spray oil onto duck feathers. First we needed to get all our supplies. We needed feathers, oil, water, plates, cups, spray bottles, and droppers. yargerm https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136871421 2016-11-10 19:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136871421 #2, Next we sprayed oil onto the feather. We smeared the oil from the plate onto our feather too! yargerm https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136873619 2016-11-10 19:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136873619 #3) We smeared our feathers in the oil! yargerm https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136875200 2016-11-10 19:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136875200 #4) After the duck feather was all oily, we dropped water onto the oily feathers. yargerm https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136875733 2016-11-10 19:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136875733 #5) Can you guess what happened when we dropped the water onto the oily feathers?  yargerm https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136876773 2016-11-10 19:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/136876773 Hmmmm. adamsb3 https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/137702319 My guess is the water will sit on top of the feather. I will try to stop by today so I can learn if I was right and to learn more about your experiment. ]]> 2016-11-15 13:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/yargerm/r7qm1fttr0i7/wish/137702319
