K-2 GRADE BANDPenguin Life StagesGeorgia Standards of Excellence: Essential Question:S2L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about the life cycles of differentliving organisms. d. Develop models to illustrate the uniqueand diverse life cycles of organisms otherthan humans. What is the life cycle of Africanpenguins and how does it differfrom a human life cycle?Next Generation Science Standards: Key Vocabulary:3-LS1-1. Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but allhave in common, birth, growth, reproduction, anddeath. Learning Objective: Students will identify and build the life stages forAfrican penguins.Life CycleEggHatchlingChick JuvenileAdultForagingMaterials: Scissors Cardstock Paper Penguin Life StagesCards (printed onthe cardstock)

K-2 GRADE BANDPenguin Life StagesBackground Information: The five life stages of an African penguin are different from humans and canbe characterized by different traits unique to each stage. The five life stagesof an African penguin are an egg, hatchling, chick, juvenile and adult. Two whitish eggs are laid and incubated for 38-42 days before theyhatch. Once the hatchlings hatch, they are fed by their parents for up tothree months. At that point they molt their down feathers and are now ableto swim and forage with the parent still providing food. Hatchlings are newly hatched penguins, chicks are slightly older andlarger Juveniles are young adults and have a grey/silver color. They already havesome skills but are still learning how to function independently. Juvenilescan take up to 13 months to develop waterproof feathers and have the ability to hunt for food on their own. African penguin adults reach reproductive maturity at around 3 years. Theystand 18-25 inches tall, weigh 6-7 pounds and are black and white in color. Foraging Penguins forage (hunt or look for food) in the ocean, often as far asnine miles offshore. Their diet consists of small fish species, crustaceans and squid, which they swallow whole. Parental penguins actually swallow the fish then regurgitate it for their chick. Regurgitating iswhen food that was swallowed is brought back up to the mouth.

K-2 GRADE BANDPenguin Life StagesActivity Instructions: Penguin Life Stages Card GameThe deck has: 20 eggs, 16 hatchings, 14 chicks, 12 juveniles, 10 adults and 20 fish cardsGame setup with 5 people: Use the full deck.Game setup with 3- 4 people: 16 egg cards, 12 hatchlings, 12 chicks, 10 juveniles, 8 adults, 16 fish cards.Game setup with 2 people: 12 eggs, 10 hatchlings, 10 chicks, 8 juveniles, 6 adults, 8 fish cards.1. Begin with showing the different life cycle stages of penguins (have the students place them in order). Explain that the objective of the game is to have two of your African penguin eggs reach adulthood in sequential order so that they can complete the life cycle circle and produce their own eggs. The first player to age up two adult penguins wins.2. The correct order is: egg, hatchling, chick, juvenile and adult.3. Set up the game using the instructions above (adding/removing cards based on the number of players). Each player willstart with 2 eggs, and there will be a shuffled deck of cards. During gameplay there should be two stacks; a draw pile and adiscard pile. Players will place egg cards down in front of them.4. Players will take turns drawing cards starting with the youngest player.5. In order to “age up” the penguin players must play the next life cycle stage of their penguin and a fish card (this representsmaking sure that your penguin has enough food to be healthy and survive to the next stage).6. When player draws a fish card, they place it between their penguin card. If they already have a fish card and have not leveled up, they must place it face up in the discard pile.7. If player does not draw the next life stage card needed or have a fish card they will place it face up in the discard pile (ex.Player must have a fish card between their eggs to level up one or both up to a hatchling, if they have no fish then player mustdiscard hatchling).8. The next player can choose to either draw the top card in the discard pile or a new card from the facedown draw pile.9. The game is over when a player has both penguins reach the adult stage (symbolizing that they can then produce anotheregg) - player will be given an egg card to show that the life cycle circle can start over. Example of a winning hand is on the nextpage.
