Clues to the Past
Weaver, Julie K.
Science and Children, v47 n5 p48-52 Jan 2010
Students love a mystery. So what do America's most majestic bird, a bag of habitat clues, and a soft-shelled egg have in common? This easy-to-do inquiry activity engages students as they connect clues to problem-solve how the bald eagle reached the brink of extinction in the 1960s in the lower 48 states. It was designed to give students an opportunity to wonder, discuss, and discover interactions in habitats. (Contains 1 figure, 5 resources, and 4 online resources.)
