PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A bird’s beak can help it gather or capture food, communicate, groom itself, defend territories, and attack rivals. The shape of a bird’s beak is a clue for scientists to help them determine what kinds of food that bird regularly eats. In this unit, kids learn to match beaks to likely food sources and practice grabbing food with various “beak” shapes.

WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. Also included are the pdfs for the Bird Beak Activity Sheet, the Bird Food Coloring Sheet, and the Eat Like a Bird Scorecard. We recommend buying materials at least 5-7 days before your class and to plan about 3-4 hours of prep depending on the size of your class.
