What makes a bird a bird? Examine bird artifacts to learn about the different adaptations and behaviors that help our avian friends survive and thrive throughout the seasons and in different habitats. After their explorations, students have fun creating their own three-dimensional bird in its own habitat.
Winter can be challenging for plants and animals. In order to survive, each must have a special strategy. Discover who sleeps the way through, who flies to warmer climes and who simply lays low. Through guided discussion and exploration of touch objects, students investigate different coping strategies, and then apply this knowledge in a fun game or through creative writing.
