Animal Adaptations!
By Ashley Arbuck, Exeter-Milligan
3rd grade Teacher
Exeter-Milligan 3rd graders have
been learning about different adaptations animals have to survive in their environment.
After reading about the many different adaptations, they got to see what it
would be like to pick up certain foods using different “beaks”. The students
used a marble and a packing peanut as the food. Their beaks consisted of
a clothespin, straw, toothpick, chopsticks, and a spoon. The students
timed each other to see how long it took to pick up the food on land and in
water with each beak. After experimenting, the students had to answer
questions and talk about which beak worked better with the type of food and
environment.
