    Observations
    Let’s cover up!
    A human’s body is covered with smooth skin. Different animals have differ-
    ent types of skin. Some animals have hair or fur; others have feathers. Some
    have scales and spines. Some have a hard shell.

    Science activity
    Connect each animal to the type of outer covering it has.

    feathers

    shell

    hair

    Science exploration
    Cover one styrofoam ball with yarn, stick 20 toothpicks
    in another, and cover a third with plastic wrap. Which
    covering best protects these “animals” from enemies?
    Explain. Do the activity on website 40-1.

    Science exploration
    The child learns that different animals have different body
    coverings. Help the child cover the styrofoam balls. The child
    should see that the toothpick ball’s covering acts as protection.
    Ask the child if he or she can name an animal with a prickly
    covering.
