Teaching Ideas: |
This is a great book for teaching animal adaptations. Many comparison and contrast activities abound e.g. types of nesting birds (where located, shaped, etc.). Either Venn diagrams or matrices make good graphic organizers(NOTE: LINK); most NF teaching strategies will work well. WWW sites abound for additional information: BirdSource: http://www.birdsource.org (learners can sign up to participate in bird counts); the Audubon Society: http://www.audubon.org; The Aviary: http://aviary.owls.com; the Raptor Center: www.raptor.cvm.umn.edu/. |
