Penguin Inquiry

We wonder about a lot of things, but we're extremely curious about penguins particularly. These are the wonderings of the grade ones:

I wonder:

• how do penguins jump in the water
• how do they wobble
• how can they fly
• how can they talk
• how do they hug?
• what do they eat?
• do they have teeth?
• how do they swim?
• do they surf?
• do they dress up?
• how do they live?

This is what the children know already:
