Bird Beak Lab

5. When the teacher says “Go” you will have 30 seconds to feed (or until the food runs
out). Collect as much food in your stomach as possible until the teacher says “Stop”.
6. Anyone who is not responsible enough to maintain safe behavior at all times will
no longer participate in the activity and will become an observer and receive a
zero for this lab.
7. When the teacher says “Stop”, students will empty their stomachs and count the
contents. Record data in the Individual Data Table. Replace food items.
8. When the teacher says to, rotate to a new station having a different food source.
9. Continue steps 4-7 until all food items have been recorded.
*Note: Make sure to put data in specially marked data table when you are at the “Variety
Food” Station.
