The CornellLab Bird Academy

|
|
There's so much more to birds than just identifying them.
Are you the type who lingers on a bird after you've found it in your binoculars to wonder what it's doing or thinking?
With a little training, you will be able to readily interpret body language and recognize subtleties that can be easy to miss.
These skills will transform your birdwatching and open up a rich new connection with nature.

The Nature of Water Power
A Hands-On Science Curriculum for Students
The Nature of Water Power is a thematic science unit appropriate for grades six through eight.
The science activities in this curriculum are written to the latest science standards. Select activities will engage students in the science process, and encourage scientific thinking, hypothesizing, experimental design, collection, organization and interpretation of the data. As students experience the activities, they are provided the opportunity to move to higher levels of investigation. Thus students are better prepared to apply the processes of science to analyze, understand, and solve problems dealing with the standards.
