All grades are becoming true “birders” and working to earn a beautiful ruby-throated hummingbird certificate from the State of Florida’s “Wings over Florida” program. Students will be bringing home a small bird field guide to get them started on spotting 15 different Florida birds - return the top page signed when the 15 different species of birds have been spotted to get their certificate and information on how to continue to earn birder certificates from Florida Fish and Wildlife. Birds are everywhere and serve as a great indicator of the health of our environment. This unit will also help students practice identification, description and classification skills. Here are some other bird sites for you to investigate:

Maria P. - The problem you are investigating is “Which brand aluminum foil is the strongest?” You will measure it by seeing how many pennies each brand supports before breaking.
