Bird watching is science in action

To help your child connect with science, suggest keeping a record of the birds in your neighborhood. Your child can draw them, write descriptions or take pictures. While your student is at it, discuss ways humans and birds are similar. You might ask, "Do you think baby birds are afraid when they learn to fly? Are there things you might be afraid to do but know you need to learn?" Help your child go online to identify and learn more about birds in your area.
