Birds of a Feather

Birds of a Feather

Bird Unit for Elementary Grades

(Digital download format)

In this hands-on and engaging study, your children will create their very own interactive notebook as they investigate feathers, eggs, beaks, claws, and more!

We’ve included close reads. (Our close reads are informational write-ups about bird anatomy, habits, and more.) Older children can read this to their younger siblings or read together as a group unit study.

The journaling pages are designed for multiple writing levels. If writing is a struggle have your child dictate or draw their answers. We don’t want their reading or writing level to inhibit a child’s excitement for learning!

THIS IS FOR ELEMENTARY AGES. Check the sample to take a peek inside.

There are 60  pages and 16  activities. What you’ll find inside this learning experience:

• Characteristics of a bird (vertebrates, warm-blooded)
• 24 flashcards with a photo/name/photo-only/name-only for 72 cards total

Included in our unit is an Activity Outline that lists each activity, with any needed explanation. Complete the activities in the suggested order or pick and choose which activities to complete.

Our mission at The Homeschool Scientist is to take the fear out of and put the fun into teaching science. Use this resource as it best fits the age and abilities of your children and your schedule.
