Weighing Penguins

During this penguin unit, children have had the opportunity to experiment with weight. Several of the penguins weight less than 30 pounds. We have two bathroom scales and many, many cans and boxes of food with letters on them...in small groups, students put cans and boxes of food on the scale until it equals the penguins weight. They were very serious about the weighing and so curious that they spent their before school free time experimenting with the scales.
