OBJECTIVES:
Birds live in all parts of the world. There are
certain varieties that only live in specific
locations, while other species are found around the globe.
The student will engage in a global study of
various species of birds and where they live.
The home settlement for a bird may be
dependent on many factors: food, protective habitat,
the bird's size, adaptability, and flight pattern.
This activity will be a short study on the various factors
that contribute to a bird's location
on the globe and what causes certain birds to pick
certain parts on the earth to live.
