Whales

We had a quick round of revision on the parts of the fish and also on the facts about fish.

Facts about whales:

•        Whales are mammals.
•      Whales breathe underwater using lungs. Therefore, they need to come up to the surface to breathe all the time. 
•      Whales give birth to one calf at a time, within 1-3 years.
•      Whales are warm-blooded animals.
•      There are 2 main types of whales, Toothed and Baleen.

After going through the facts about whales, I found an interesting session where I wanted the children to think about it or even going back home to find out from their parents. The question is “Why can’t whale sleep for too long underwater?”
