Jennifer the Zoologist:

Moving Animals at the Zoo

Meet Jennifer!

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer, and I'm a zoologist. A zoologist works with animals at the zoo. It's my job to make sure animals have a safe

and happy place to live at the zoo.

My Favorite Animal at the Zoo

My favorite animals at the zoo are koalas. As a zoologist, I make sure that koalas have bamboo

to eat and climb on!

What's your favorite animal? How would you take care of the

animal?

Moving a Giraffe

Today, I need to move a giraffe to his new home at the zoo! He is very heavy! Do you have any

ideas for how I can move the giraffe? Share your ideas with the class!

Moving a Giraffe

My first idea is to have my friend pull the giraffe in a wagon. When he pulls the giraffe in the wagon, the giraffe gets closer to him. The problem is that it is taking him a long time to pull the giraffe! Do you

have an idea for how he can pull the giraffe faster? Share your ideas with the class!

Moving a Giraffe

I have another idea. What if more people help pull the wagon? We can work as a team and pull

the wagon together.

Moving a Giraffe

This was a great idea! When we work together, we can change the speed of

the wagon. This means we can pull the giraffe faster.

Thanks for helping me come up with ways to move the giraffe! When we work as a team,

we can move the giraffe faster!
