Ranch Bird Beaks: Activity 2, Ranch Life Book 3: Ranch Wildlife
In this hands-on activity, students explore how the structure of bird beaks determines what and how birds eat. Using tools and models that mimic different beak shapes, learners discover how adaptations help birds survive in specific environments. The reading is divided into manageable sections, with before, during, and after reading prompts designed to support comprehension and engagement. Students connect physical traits to survival strategies and environmental roles within ranch ecosystems.
