Risks and rewards in the animal kingdom (Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 5)

By Request

Why do animals take risks? Come explore the world from the perspective of a hungry bird and test what is the best way to find food and feed your babies


ACTIVITY OUTLINE:

Animals have to make several decisions in nature, such as where to find food, water or hide from predators! But how do they do it? In this activity, students will explore the challenges of a bird looking for food in different environments through the game “Hungry birds”. Depending on where they decide to look for food, different predators will show up and make their task more difficult. Students will have the chance to make their own decisions and think about the consequences for the future of their hungry bird family.

Join biologist Diego Moura in the journey to becoming a parent bird and deciding where to find food for your hungry babies! The activity allows students to play the game and collect their own data to test different hypotheses. All of that while discussing their ideas with a real-life scientist.
