Fourth Grade ~ Birds
Owl Pellet Lab - GPS S4L1 - The MEEC will provide each student
with a barn owl pellet to be dissected using toothpicks. This lab is
a excellent activity to enhance student learning about food chains
as the bones of the prey are easily identified using a provided chart.
Bird Brains Math - GPS M4N3, M4N4, M4N5, S4L2 -These fun
activities have been adapted from Project Flying Wild and will involve
students rotating through a series of math based stations.
Quick Frozen Critters - GPS S4L1- After this Project Wild Activity, students will be able to describe the relationship between predator and prey and how wildlife population is affected in this infinite cycle.
Busy Bird Motel - GPS S4CS2 - This activity simulates a bird monitoring station by creating a "Busy Bird Motel." Students attempt
to count the number of birds and record observations - but they have to
work fast!
Camouflage Activity - GPS S4L2 - A discussion of the importance
of camouflage in the animal world will precede a contest to find hidden
colored toothpicks.
Scavenger Fact Hunt - GPS S4L2, ELA4R1 - Students will use their understanding of the four cardinal directions as clues to finding bird facts on the MEEC signage.
Binocular Study - GPS S4CS1, S4CS3, S4L1 - After learning to use the binoculars, students will take a short hike in search of various animals and their ecosystems.
Food Chain Model - GPS S4CS1, S4CS5, S4L1 - Students will build a model that shows the food chain of a Great Horned Owl using nesting tubes.
Wheel of Nature - Students will learn various facts of Georgia wildlife through this exciting review game.
