Scottish Seabird Centre - Adaptations classroom circus activity

An activity for children learning about adaptations, looking at how different beak shapes allow birds to do different things. The class is split into four groups, and they rotate around for activity trays, deciding whether pegs (heron beak) or spoons (spoonbill beak) are best for each one. They must then discuss what the real birds use their beaks for, and how they're adapted to survive.
