Bird Beaks

To start the term we became birds and carried out an experiment to see which type of beak worked best for different food types - insects in a log (rice in plasticine), small fish in water (macaroni), worms in dirt (cooked spaghetti),  flesh (marshmallows on a stick) and sunflower seeds.  We had some fun and worked out that some beaks are quite specialised for a specific food type while others work for multiple foods.  From this we discussed how birds have adapted to suit their environments.
