Activity Name: Picture Collection in What do animals eat

Activity Description:

The experiment involves creating a booklet on birds and their food habits. You will collect pictures of different birds and write about how each bird obtains its food.

Required Items:

• Notebook or sheets of paper
• Pens or pencils
• Bird identification guide or resources
• Magazines, newspapers, or access to the internet (for collecting bird pictures)
• Glue or tape (for attaching pictures)

Step by Step Procedure:

1. Start by gathering information about different birds and their food habits. You can use bird identification guides, books, or online resources to learn about various bird species.
2. Choose a suitable notebook or sheets of paper to create your booklet.
3. Divide the pages of the notebook into sections for each bird.
4. Begin collecting pictures of different birds. You can search for bird images in magazines, newspapers, or online platforms. Print or cut out the pictures, ensuring they are clear and identifiable.
5. Glue or tape the pictures onto the corresponding pages of the notebook. Leave space beside each picture for writing.
6. Write the name of each bird above its picture.
7. Research and write a short paragraph or a few sentences about the food habits of each bird. Describe how the bird obtains its food, such as by hunting, scavenging, or feeding on specific types of prey or plants.
8. Continue adding pictures and information until you have covered a variety of birds and their food habits.
9. Decorate the cover of your booklet with a title like “Birds and Their Food Habits.”
10. Review your booklet, ensuring the information is accurate and well-organized.

Experiment Observations:

During the experiment, you will observe and collect pictures of different birds and learn about their food habits. You will also gain knowledge about the diverse ways in which birds obtain their food, such as through hunting, scavenging, or specialized feeding behaviors.

Precautions:
