Here is what they named their inventions:Jack L.- Penguin Mobile
Hailey- Penguin Baby Keeper
Jack B. - Egg Heater
Cameron- Automatic Egg Warmer
Alex- Egg Heater for Penguins
Mikayla- Cookinator
Nathan- Egg Pals
Kinsey- Security System
Ryan- Heat-a-ron
Thai- Egg Heater
Ian- Warminator
Josie- New Invention
Casey- Hot-O-Matic
Eli- The Wade-i-ator
These three students researched about penguins.
Samantha researched about the chin strap penguin, emperor penguins, macaroni penguins, and gentoo penguins.Ryan researched about emperor penguins.
Aubrey researched general info about penguins; for example where they live, what they eat, and about their eggs.
I decided to add a section to this think tank that I had never tried before. This activity revolved around writing a song about the topic. I was very proud of these two boys for attempting this!
Ryan's song was called Penguins in the Jungle and was sung to an original tune.Nathan sung his song to the tune of Feliz Navidad.
Making a comic strip was a very popular activity. It had the most participants. All of the children shared the gist of their comics and I am going to put them together in a book for the class to enjoy.
This was another new activity I wanted to try with this Think Tank. I would have to say it was a complete hit! The kids loved thinking of a new habitat for the penguin and using watercolors to recreate it.
We got to hear stories about penguins that were at the mall, in the mountains, at school, and at the North Pole.
I didn't take a picture of this activity card- but they were to create jokes or riddles about penguins and polar bears. I told the kids to pick their favorite ones and share them. They are typed below the picture.
Ryan- Why did the penguin cross the road? To get to the other egg!
