science inquiry

We did a science inquiry task examining the different types of bird beaks and their ability to pick up food.  Students used tweezers, spoons, and toothpicks as 'beaks' and tried to pick up a variety of materials representing 'food' - glass stones, paper, sponges and pipe cleaners.  It was unanimously decided (and based on data) that the spoon beak was the most versatile beak shape.
