Ornithology is the study of birds, and young scientists do just that with an interesting science lesson. They identify the parts of a bird, realize that birds have different types of beaks, wings, and feet, and take a close look at bird feathers. Unfortunately, the worksheets mentioned in the plan are not found as attached files. Still, the ideas in the lesson can be used to create an effective study of birds.
