WHY? Birds because of their incredible abilities have covered the globe with their species. Within the various species of birds there have been adaptations because of climate, topography, and space. Some birds never leave the ground because of their size - they are just too big to fly, others soar and lunge into the sea to catch their dinner, and others spend hours in the air gliding on the upward movements of air called thermals. The worldwide study of the habitats, habits, size, and abilities of various birds give students a greater understanding of birds. ASSESSMENT: Can the student communicate what they observed?
