Flying WILD: Birds Across the Curriculum – An Activity Module for Grade 5-8 Educators

Connecting learning to the fascinating world of birds presents educators with many opportunities to tap into students' motivation to learn. Birds capture our imaginations and stir our curiosity with their incredible diversity of forms and colors, their powers of flight, and abilities to navigate long-distance migrations. From urban landscapes to wilderness, birds are often the most readily observable wildlife. They provide a natural inroad for students to start learning about wildlife, habitat, and environmental stewardship. Flying WILD's award-winning content is thoroughly tested and standards aligned. The eight activities in this cross-curricular Flying WILD: Birds Across the Curriculum Activity Module provide an introduction into learning about the ecology of birds.
