Just how is a pipette or a pair of tweezers like a bird's beak? 2nd grade students found out in a hands-on activity exploring what types of tools work just like bird beaks to pick up or crack open food! What's the best tool to catch a marshmallow in the air? Could it be a spoon? A pair of tongs? Or perhaps a net works best? This activity is a very graphic way to explore just how bird beaks are uniquely adapted to the particular type of food that the bird eats.
Bird beaks come in all shapes and sizes!
