Objectives
Students will:
1. Learn to identify by sight the following six birds of Roosevelt Island:
2. State one fact about each of the above bird species.
Materials
Science-coloring/facts booklets - master copy. For best results, view and print this page with your Web browser set on a full screen.
Science-coloring" models - These can be made by coloring the illustrations of the six birds accurately while referring to a field guide or spotter's handbook. Laminating the models will preserve them for multiple class use.
Procedures
1. At a station place "science-coloring"/facts booklets (one for each student) and "science-coloring" models. Direct students to use the models to accurately color each of the six birds in the booklet.
2. After "science-coloring" each bird, students should silently read the information accompanying each picture. They then can test themselves on their bird knowledge by completing the last page.
