Heard from a Little Birdie...3rd Grade Is Studying Ornithology!

Ornithology is the study of birds, and boy, do we have some bird watchers in 3rd grade!  We learned the characteristics that make a bird a bird and noticed that the shape of birds' eggs had more to do with the type of nest they created than other factors.  We looked at feathers of all kinds and researched the parts and looked inside the "hollow" bones birds have.  Our studies led us to look at bird beaks and think about why some birds have certain beaks. Here are pictures of us during the Bird Beak Lab, gathering facts and graphing results about bird beaks!!
