Teachers BirdSleuth!

Recording DataBirdSleuth provides an ideal way to teach science content and the scientific process through engaging, hands-on activities, citizen science, and authentic scientific research!



 

 

Our Most Wanted Birds Curriculum is perfect for today's classrooms!

  • Audience:   This unit was developed and field tested with the help of 4-8th grade teachers, but we've seen kindergarten teachers through college professors use the program successfully!
  • Key Concepts:  Diversity, Scientific Inquiry, Science Process Skills 
  • Teachers Love: That it's easy to connect science to math and technology because the students are collecting, submitting, and using eBird citizen science data.  
  • Students love: Knowing that their data is being used to help birds. Older students especially like the connection to Cornell University scientists. The activities are hands-on, engaging, and get kids outside for authentic research!
