Group similar food items together. At a feeding station, each group of students has one minute to practice transferring food to the stomach. After practice, each group of students has 30 seconds to collect and transfer food to the stomach using their beak models. Students record the amount of food transferred to the stomach at this station. Return food to feeding station before rotating.
Students rotate to a new feeding station and repeat the practice and actual collection of food.
Continue until all feeding stations have been visited. Formative Assessment Observe students using beak models to gather food and recording data. Also observe students for following bird behavior rules for gathering food. Description Students will graph and interpret data about beak models and their effectiveness with different food sources. After gathering data from every station, groups produce a graph of their combined data.
