In this mini-lesson, students discover how penguins use their wings--and why they can't fly!
Here are some writing prompts to help students reflect on the mini-lesson. Feel free to copy and paste them into an assignment.
Bonus Activity: A penguin's wings are too small for them to 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.
