Whales

For Science this year, we are doing Apologia's Zoology 2 (Swimming creatures of the fifth day).  The most current chapter was on whales.  A suggestion they had was to make an ocean box and as we study certain creatures, we'll add them to the box.  Since there are 2 different kinds of whales - baleen and toothed, each boy colored a type to add to our box.  To make it look 3-d, we have cut the fish and glued part of it above the box and part of it below.  Creatures we find on top the water will be placed on top the box and creatures we find in the bottom of the ocean will be on the bottom of the inside of the box and we'll include all creatures in between.  Here is a picture of our box after we added whales.



Nicolas did the dolphin (toothed whale) on the left and Alex did the humpback whale and baby (baleen whale) on the right.
