From a Bird's Eye View: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Migration
Benson, Juliann
Science Scope, v8 n30 p36-41 Apr 2007
Inspiring students to learn about birds can be a daunting task--students see birds just about every day and often don't think twice about them. The activity described here is designed to excite students to "become" birds. Students are asked to create a model and tell the life story of a bird by mapping its migration pattern. (Contains 6 figures, 6 resources and 13 online resources.)
