Want to do an observational study on birds? If so, I have a lot of resources here for you! I have provided videos about birds and activities you can do once you have listened to the videos. I cannot wait to see which activities you choose to complete after your learning.
Now that you have listened to a lot of videos about birds you can do a couple different things to enhance your learning.
Write an All About Birds book.
Create a poster about birds.
Record yourselves sharing all the facts you have learned about birds.
LEARNING ABOUT SPECIFIC BIRDS
Below there are images of different types of birds. Click on the image to watch a video where you will learn about the bird. Once you have listened to the video you can draw a picture of the bird and label the beak, feathers, and feet. You can also write a caption and write 3 facts you learned from the video below your image. You can also create a 3D version of the bird you studied using recycled materials from your home.
If you complete this activity...don't forget to send me a picture on Class Dojo!
