    This lesson plan aims to have students elaborate on their understanding of animal adaptations through an investigation. Students will conduct an experiment to test how different bird beak shapes affect their ability to eat different foods. They will observe, record data, analyze results, and explain how the beak shapes relate to survival. The assessment will evaluate if students can identify adaptations, graph data, create investigation questions, and justify their explanations. Differentiation is provided to extend or enable students based on their needs.

    Student then start their worksheet and collect their equipment.
    One student come up and collect their equipment
    Students conduct the test and fill out the results in a table to show their
    data.
    Student then write down what happened and why they think that.

    Conclusion

    Students share with the class what they found and how they conducted
    the test.

    Differentiation
    Enabling- Teacher prompts students with questions to help them
    predict and justify their results, scribe if needed for the student

    Extending- Teacher ask question for student to elaborate more on their


    answers and to think outside of the box from the results such as if there
    was another food type would the results change?

    Students stand behind their desk with their chairs pushed in to conduct
    experiment to avoid spilling things and tripping over chairs legs
