| Swinging
(and Not So Swinging) Primates |
|
 |
|
Second
and third graders learned how humans differ from other primates in
this Saturday Safari. Through games, activities, and demonstrations,
students learned the differences between prosimians, monkeys and apes.
Students pretended to have feet that could act as hands, pieced together
primate puzzles, practiced primate communication without the use of
speech and made movable gorilla puppets. |

|
|
|
Using
their toes like fingers to pick up small objects, students learn
the advantages of having opposable thumbs and long fingers.
