An Animal's Body

A Grade 2 «Me and the World» topic: «An animal's body» (Chapter 1 A, pp. 15–21, Sh. Khanalim). Every animal's body parts help it to live: a fish's fins give it balance, birds and butterflies fly with their wings, a squirrel runs and climbs trees with its legs, a hen scratches the ground with its claws to find food. The body covering helps keep warmth in and gives protection: the polar bear's thick fur, the scales of a fish and a crocodile, birds' feathers, the sharp spines of a hedgehog and a porcupine. A diagram shows the main idea; a picture shows the whole view. A magnifying glass makes things bigger.
