  Lesson Plans for Birds  

For The Birds (K-3)
Students design their own birdhouses and hang them at locations outside that they will be able to observe during the day. Conclusions can be drawn about how many birds feed at the same time, at what time during the day they are most likely to feed, and where the best location for a feeder is.
