Ecological Inquiry: Bird Exploration

Students will participate in ecological inquiries to survey the avian biodiversity around their communities. It is important for students to understand the importance of birds on the ecosystem and how, though they migrate, they utilize the schoolyard to be one of their homes. Utilizing a set of classroom Curious Critter books, students will get to examine different types of birds before they go out in search of feathers, nests, or eggshells. By becoming ornithologists for the lesson, students will observe, research, design, and create around the topic of schoolyard birds.
