Educational worksheet featuring a "Crack the Code" activity about penguin facts, including questions on diet, species, speed, and diversity, with a code key and a penguin illustration.

Let's solve this "Crack the Code" puzzle step by step using the provided alphabet-number code:

Code Key:

```
A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=10, K=11, L=12, M=13,
N=14, O=15, P=16, Q=17, R=18, S=19, T=20, U=21, V=22, W=23, X=24, Y=25, Z=26
```

Question 1: What do penguins eat?

Numbers:
11, 18, 9, 12, 12, 19, 17, 21, 9, 4, and 6, 9, 19, 8

Let’s decode each group:

- 11 = K
- 18 = R
- 9 = I
- 12 = L
- 12 = L → KRILL

- 19 = S
- 17 = Q
- 21 = U
- 9 = I
- 4 = D → SQUID

- 6 = F
- 9 = I
- 19 = S
- 8 = H → FISH

✔ So, penguins eat: Krill, Squid, and Fish

Question 2: What is the smallest species of penguin called?

Numbers:
12, 9, 20, 20, 12, 5, 2, 12, 21, 5, 16, 5, 14, 7, 21, 9, 14

Decode each word:

- 12 = L
- 9 = I
- 20 = T
- 20 = T
- 12 = L
- 5 = E → LITTLE

- 2 = B
- 12 = L
- 21 = U
- 5 = E → BLUE

- 16 = P
- 5 = E
- 14 = N
- 7 = G
- 21 = U
- 9 = I
- 14 = N → PENGUIN

✔ So, the smallest species is called the Little Blue Penguin

---

Question 3: How fast can some penguins swim?

Numbers:
6, 9, 6, 20, 5, 5, 14, 13, 16, 8

Decode:

- 6 = F
- 9 = I
- 6 = F
- 20 = T
- 5 = E
- 5 = E
- 14 = N → FIFTEEN

- 13 = M
- 16 = P
- 8 = H → MPH

✔ So, some penguins can swim Fifteen MPH

---

Question 4: How many different species of penguins are there?

Numbers:
14, 9, 14, 5, 20, 5, 5, 14

Decode:

- 14 = N
- 9 = I
- 14 = N
- 5 = E
- 20 = T
- 5 = E
- 5 = E
- 14 = N → NINETEEN

✔ So, there are Nineteen different species of penguins.

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. Penguins eat: Krill, Squid, and Fish
2. Smallest species: Little Blue Penguin
3. Swimming speed: Fifteen MPH
4. Number of species: Nineteen

These are fun facts about penguins! 🐧
