Feeding the Birds

edited by: William C. Ritz and William Straits

This activity is about attracting birds to the school yard. The children put out empty milk cartons with food and place a pencil or wood dowel through small holes cut into the sides of the carton. Birds will be able to perch on the dowel and reach inside to get to the food. Encourage children to watch for birds visiting the feeders and notice which foods the birds choose to eat. A materials list, internet resources, standards, and safety practices are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Preface, About the Editors, Introduction, Simple Graphing for Young Children, Science Teaching Boards and Boxes, Basic Materials List, and Index.
