Future Bird 3000
by Alisson Suito
Students will research and understand bird evolution. They will identify the functions of body parts and ecosystems. They will predict evolutionary changes that a specific bird will go through and the future anatomy of that animal.
Students will identify forms that mimic their predicted bird sketch, using repurposed materials to solve problems and build a structure with paper mâché.
The project extension for this lesson is to write a digital story featuring the Future Bird as the main character.
