Body parts help animals get food, move and stay safe.
Beak shapes fit the food birds eat.
Webbed feet help ducks swim.
Shells and quills help keep animals safe.
◇ ANIMAL WATCH
Sit by a window or in a park together. Watch an animal quietly for a few minutes. Notice how it moves. Notice how it eats, if it does. Talk about which body parts it uses.
Safety first
Watch animals from far away. Never touch or feed wild animals.
For a grown-up
Ask: what did you notice? Ask: what would you change next time? Ask: which body part helped the animal most?
