Q Question 1 Not yet graded / 0.5 pts Examine the handful of "seeds" you've collected. Remember that you want 2 or 3 different types and that they can be seeds, beans, cereal, or pasta - anything that is smallish. Keep these handy - we will use this handful for later questions/steps in the experiment. Question 2 Not yet graded / 0.5 pts Now examine the tool you've selected to serve as your "beak". 1. Describe the "beak" you will be using to pick up "seeds". 2. Make a prediction - what type of "diet" (seeds) is your "bird" most likely to successfully pick up and eat? Explain why your beak is better suited for that kind of seed and not the others in your handful. Question 3 Not yet graded / 0.5 pts Now for the experiment! 1. Sprinkle your handful of seeds out on a flat surface that has enough room for there to be space, but not terribly large. Something with edges to keep them from scattering all over is helpful. A cookie sheet or baking pan, or other common kitchen items like a skillet or food storage container would work well too. 2. Get your "beak" ready, and set a timer for 30 seconds, and GO! Pick up as many seeds as you can with your tool in that 30 seconds. 3. Count the seeds you were able to pick up - keeping the types separate. Copy this table into the text box for your answers, and fill in the numbers from your handful of seeds and the experiment.
