Here you will find resources and links for the leader guide, eBird Explorers: Youth Action for Birds<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Download the lesson slides<\/a> for the whole <\/em>curriculum. You will need to download the PowerPoint from Box and open them with PowerPoint for the videos and media to display properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tips for Taking Youth Outside<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Birdability<\/a>, a non-profit with resources for making birding more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Idea: Everyone has scientific skills and traits, and we use these skills and traits every day. Youth can build science skills through participatory science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Activity 2 video alternative: Choose one or two of the “In the Field” videos from these conservation scientist profiles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Idea: Observation is a foundational scientific skill and that can be built through practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big idea: Birds are a group of animals with two wings, a beak, and two legs that lay hard-shelled eggs. Birds are the only living animals with feathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Idea: There are many different kinds of birds. We can begin to identify them by comparing their size and shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Idea: The data that youth collect to support participatory-science projects like eBird can help conserve bird species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Idea: A bird\u2019s overall color pattern provides important clues for identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big ID: Youth become bird ID experts on a focus bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Idea: Youth can contribute to the eBird database by submitting their bird sightings and explore the database to answer questions about their local habitats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Idea: Youth can make a difference for birds by engaging in participatory science and taking action in their own communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Idea: Youth can make a difference for birds by taking action in their own communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"General Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
