Which beak is best!?
Mt. Pleasant Elementary first grade students completed a scientific inquiry investigation to explore how different bird beaks are adapted to pick up different types of food.
Students acted as birds searching for food. Each utensil (the spoon, the clothespin, and the tweezers) represents the beaks of different birds. The marbles, toothpicks, and straw represent the different foods consumed by these birds.
Students had fun investigating which beak is best adapted to pick up each type of food.
