The focus of this thematic unit is for primary students to explore and learn about the habitats, diets, and specific attributes of various species of ducks. This program allows students to catalog their bird sightings and modify and delete records as appropriate.
Students have the opportunity choose from a variety of reports or customize their own.
Initiating Activity Obtain empty egg cartons, cutting them into sections of two attached cups a piece. Have a table set out with glue, construction paper, scissors, stapler, crayons, feathers, and beads. Show the students a finished product of a bird whose body is made from bending and stapling the two egg carton cups together. Allow them to construct their own bird and decorate it as they wish. Have the students discuss what they would name their bird if they had one as a pet.
