We have been discussing threats to whales and the importance of taking caring of the Earth and its many habitats. Third and fourth graders are recording facts about these amazing mammals in their whale research books. In art, both classes have made ocean collages using black and white nature photos to depict whales swimming in watercolor oceans. Third graders are building a life-size humpback whale with B.Z.<br /><br />Here are links to the videos we have watched to learn about different whales:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K40D83obI8U">BBC- The Blue Whale</a><br /><br /><a href="http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/content/kingdom-of-the-blue-whale-3302/blue-whale-facts/#/compare/length">National Geographic- The Blue Whale</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELca_ZWVJtM&NR=1">Humpback whales bubble-net feeding</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJvfjiCTvq4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJvfjiCTvq4</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVX84qRrCSA">Endless Ocean- Right Whale</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8kcMXjPiIQ">Orcas Whale Watching</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.arkive.org/fin-whale/balaenoptera-physalus/facts-and-status.html">Fin Whale</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.enn.com/top_stories/article/26222">http://www.enn.com/top_stories/article/26222</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z2Lfxpi710">Sperm Whale Versus Giant Squid</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.acsonline.org/factpack/bluewhl.htm">American Cetacean Society Fact Sheets</a>Ms. Cannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15460892658020097873noreply@blogger.com0
