Shark Anatomy Floor Puzzle

The Shark Anatomy Floor Puzzle is a reversible 2-in-1 puzzle. This puzzle is 54" long by 21" high and contains 100 pieces. This is a huge puzzle! One side depicts a powerful image of a Great White Shark. When you flip the puzzle over, you'll see a scientifically accurate reconstruction of shark anatomy. It brings together nature and science. Upon completion, the puzzle is truly striking. Flipping the puzzle over is somewhat tricky. There is a two-sided laminated fact sheet included in the puzzle box. The purpose is to encourage exploration and help children learn more about the shark's biology. One side is a Fun Fact Sheet with interesting facts about the shark, such as: "Shark teeth are actually hardened scales. Rows of triangular teeth continually grow to replace those that are lost. Sharks commonly shed tens of thousands of teeth in their lifetimes." There are nine interesting facts about the Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias). The Anatomy Guide side has forty-six shark parts labeled. Rostrum, Quadratomndibularis muscle, Gill arch, Rectal gland and Oviduct are some of the parts that are identified. The puzzle pieces are thick and sturdy. The colors are vibrant and rich. The puzzle is not only a wonderful teaching tool, but is also an amazing piece of art.

big the pieces are. 

Both sides of some pieces are identical, while others are clearly different. In instances where the pieces are different, inner anatomy parts will be present. With only 100 pieces, the puzzle is not too challenging. It will be easy for young children to grip the puzzle pieces. Putting together this puzzle can be a family activity.
