Format
1 - We start by discussing adaptations of birds and raptors specifically
2 - Meet a falcon! Students will see a live falcon up close and learn about where it lives and how it hunts
3 - Meet an owl! Students will see a live owl to learn about its habitat and adaptations
4 - Discuss how humans impact raptor populations and how we can help!
5 - Time for questions
Objectives
Students will be able to name 3 adaptations of each animal they met today
Students will identify 1 way they can help raptor populations
Standards Alignment
National Standards
Possible Next Generation Science Standards met through this program:
3-LS4-1 Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing
3-LS4-4 Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change
4-LS1-1 Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction
