In this activity, grade 6 students will explore physical adaptations/ adaptive traits by looking at bird beaks. Students will be tasked to determine how and why bird beaks are shaped based on the food birds will eat. Using a variety of tools to represent each beak, students will decide which “beak” is best for each food source. Using the knowledge gathered throughout the activity, students will conduct research in a follow-up investigation to discover birds that could be represented by their chosen beak.
