Whose Foot is This? Zoology Photo Cards: Set 4 from Big Picture Science
The lower elementary students at my school absolutely LOVE this material! The photos are high quality and the text is well written and really interesting. Because of the number of cards, it feels like a puzzle, which the students find really engaging. They also love the fact that it feels like a "big work," (requiring 2 or 3 rugs) which is always a great selling point to 6-9 year olds. I have found this material to work well as a partner work. I have the students lay out all of the feet photos, and then go through the animal photos to try to find the match. Then they take turns reading the correspnding text card. My students learned so much about how mammal feet are adapted for their needs- and they truly enjoyed it!
