Science Fun--- A Study of Birds

 Exploring the life of birds.....while using our Latter-day Learning curriculum we again take flight in learning this time with birds.
We explored:
--Beaks and feet  (in the pictures shown we used tweezers, tongs, spoons and clothes pins to try to "eat food" as if we were a bird.  We learned that God created each bird with a special beak suited perfectly for their environment, along with their feet!
--Body adaptations
--flight
---feathers
---nest   For this study we went on a nature walk and found an abandoned nest (because it's winter) We brought it home and dissected it....sadly this bird had lots of trash in their nest, which shows how untidy the park was during the time this bird built it's nest.
---eggs
---migration
----feeding  We made some bird feeders using peanut butter and bagels.
