Science (9 - 12)
Title:
Which Beak is "On Fleek"?
Description:
In the urban dictionary, “on fleek” is currently a popular slang term that describes something that is “flawlessly styled or groomed.” In this lesson, the students will explore the concept of evolution by using their engineering skills to “build” various bird beaks that are “flawlessly styled,” or “on fleek,” for capturing different types of food. Finally, the students will use argument-driven inquiry to design an experiment and use claim, evidence, and reasoning to justify which “bird” is best adapted to survive during conditions of limited resources. This lesson results from a collaboration between the Alabama State Department of Education and ASTA.
