Ask each child to draw and write about one of the facts listed on their fact chart. Create a display in your science area about Emperor Penguins using the fact chart and the children's drawings. Children's drawings can also be bound to make a class book for their science area. Comparing the Size of a Penguin Provide the children with measuring tools, i.e., tape measures, rulers, and yardsticks. Male Emperor Penguins are about 4 feet tall.
Females are a little smaller.
Chicks are about 6 inches tall. Ask the children to use the measuring tools along with pencil and paper to record the sizes of the penguins. Children can tape together large sheets of drawing paper or use brown craft paper to measure the size of the adult penguins. Display the measurements on a wall. Now ask the children to find other things in the classroom that are the same size as the adult and chick penguins.
