If you can't put your finger on it, you can at least learn from this video about the channels that form our our water-soaked fingertips. What is their purpose? This little clip is an amusing and educational addition to a lesson on adaptations. A set of multiple-choice questions can be used as an assessment of comprehension, and links to other resources explain more of the science behind pruney fingertips.
