Students in Ms. Wilder’s 5th grade science class have been busy scientists as they explored adaptations through a hands-on experiment! Using different tools to represent various bird beaks, students tested how each “beak” worked to pick up different types of food.
This fun and interactive activity helped students understand how animals adapt to survive in their environments. Learning by doing made science come alive! 🐤🧠
Way to go, Ms. Wilder’s class — future scientists in the making! 👏🔍
