What I Learned Review
Have you every thought about how
animals move? Do they all move the
same? Lets investigate some animals
to see how they move and if they move
in the same way.
Click on the dolphin below.

Now that we have investigated how animals
move, you are going to :
1. Sort animal pictures into three groups by
how they move.
2. Choose two animals from one category and
tell why you put them together.


Click on Kangaroo to get to Sorting Sheet.
Fins Wings Legs
As you listen to the story, think about
the different ways that animals move.
Then show me what you have learned by
drawing pictures of animals with fins,
wings, and legs. Finally,
draw one way that people
move using fins, wings or
legs.

Click on the elephant to go to the How Animals
Move diagram.

Legs Person
Now that we have read the book, choose
two animals that move in different ways.
Compare them to find out how they are
different and how they are the same.
Print and use the Venn Diagram to
complete this.
Now that you have some information about
how animals move, you are going to research
an animal of your choice. You are going to
complete the Animal Profile page and include
a picture of your animal to share with the
class.
Click on the pictures below for additional animal information.
