Description

In this artfully rendered nonfiction account of the barn owl’s life cycle, children learn about the hunting, mating, and nesting habits of barn owls against the surprisingly soothing backdrop of Bert Kitchen’s lifelike illustrations. Muted blues and warm golds offset the dignified birds as they hunt long-tailed field mice and protect their eggs. Barn owl facts, conservation information, and a short glossary enrich the story.

  • Life Science
    • The characteristics of organisms
      • Organisms have basic needs. For example, animals need air, water, and food; plants require air, water, nutrients, and light. (K-4)
      • Organisms can survive only in environments in which their needs can be met. (K-4)
      • Each plant or animal has different structures that serve different functions in growth, survival, and reproduction. For example, humans have distinct body structures for walking, holding, seeing, and talking. (K-4)
      • The behavior of individual organisms is influenced by internal cues (such as hunger) and by external cues (such as a change in the environment). (K-4)
    • Populations and ecosystems
      • All populations living together and the physical factors with which they interact compose an ecosystem. (5-8)
      • Given adequate biotic and abiotic resources and no disease or predators, populations (including humans) increase at rapid rates. (5-8)
  • Science as Inquiry
    • Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
      • Think critically and logically to make the relationships between evidence and explanations.
  • Teaching Standards
    • Teachers provide students with the time, space, and resources needed to learn science.
      • Make the available science tools, materials, media, and technological resources accessible to students.
