Bird Beak Engineering
by Hailey Murphy
In this lesson, students show what they know about animal adaptations! Students will test out a variety of bird "beaks" and how capable they are of picking up different types of bird "foods". Then they will design and create their own beak that has been "adapted" to be as efficient as possible. Materials for this lesson are very flexible!
