Real-World Activity
| A Day at the
Aquarium! |
| Pretend that
you work at the Georgia Aquarium. The whales, dolphins, and tropical
fish are in danger! There has been a leak in a few of the
tanks and we have to save these marine animals fast! In order to
protect the fish, we need to put them back in a new correct size tank.
Use your new knowledge of big/small objects and tall/short objects to
make sure you do not put the whales in a tank that is too small or the
tropical fish in a tank that is too big. Can you help save the animals? |
