Birdwatch Bash: Feathers & Flight Fun!

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

I'd like to create a unit to study local birds, birds in our neighborhood. I'd like to focus on a different bird each lesson. I'd like to help students identify each bird with physical characteristics, flight patterns and calls. The birds I want to focus on include house finch, red tail hawk, turkey vulture, duck and hummingbird. I'd like students to create a tool to help them locate birds like play binoculars or a device to help them hear birds

Stellar Stories: Build Your Constellation!

Grade Level:

Initial ideas

You and your team will teach the second graders about stars by building a model of a constellation, showing how its stars are arranged in the sky. You will use your model to explain why certain stars appear larger than others, and why we see different constellations at different times of the year. Your model must show an accurate representation of the constellation. You must present your model to the second graders, and must explain the story of how the constellation got its name. You and your classmates must arrange the models in the room correctly, to show the locations in order in the night sky. When it is time to make your model, your teacher will explain the constraints of supplies and time.
