Birds for Kids!

Birds are an excellent way to teach many science topics  such as adaptations, food chains and habitat. Birds also provide excellent opportunities to learn about research and the scientific method through community science. We have lesson plans, hands on activities and scientific specimens to keep kids interested and involved.
