Have students set up an experiment to determine where the best site for a feeder might be. Decide on three 10 minute periods throughout the day when students will observe and record the number of times birds feed at each site. Make bar graphs to record the results. This could take up to two weeks to collect enough data to graph. Ask students to comment on the graphs.
Students can draw conclusions about the best location for the feeders.
They can also come up with other questions they would like to find answers for.
