Diary of a bird to be

Day: What happened:

Day: What happened:

write down your observations of the nest activity after I’ve fledged:

Remember to take note of what and how much I eat as I grow up!

Write here your research about our songs:

Write what you think this picture tells you about sound:

Different birds sing for different reasons...

This is my territory and no one dare to come near!

A new day begins and I was successful in surviving because I’m good at finding food!

I’m healthy and fit and ready to breed!

Do some research and find out which messages we deliver when we sing...

If I was lucky enough, I have developed wing feathers that are large enough for flight...so I’m almost ready to face the world on my own!!

Do my parents continue to feed me? How many brothers are there in the nest? Did all the eggs hatch? did my diet change? Do me or any of my brothers ever leave the nest?

You may wonder where i take my nutrients from...

My egg contains albumen or “egg white” and a yolk. I develop within the yolk and feed off of it and the white. Inside here I have shelter, food, almost everything i need... except, it seems, a little fresh air.

Draw the nest with me inside...which is the clutch size at this point?

You may wonder how I can breathe inside this egg... but if we zoom in the egg shell under the microscope you will find an interesting surprise...

Pores on the surface of the egg shell not only allow for gas exchange but also for the exchange of water between the embryo and the environment.

Use the booklet of the smart bird nest to identify what type of bird I am

I’m a ..........................................................................

Fill in the names of the body parts I will have as an adult bird:

We can try an experiment to see if birds would use materials that are not thermal insulators to build their nest...we can leave pieces of wire or metals (aluminum foil) near the site of the smart nest and check if they are used by the birds.

Write down all the examples you can find at home or at school of good thermal insulator materials and good heat conductors (try not to use the ones on the table)

https://api.bookcreator.com/users/v2/5CH84GaqSAYiKwExDLYz6FaBiyr2/books/PDsFYJsfSemAtnJDr1Mnvg/assets/CI_EB7BD586-AD54-4DC3-8728-AF1EED3A197A.jpg?width=505&height=361

So...although my parents never learned about thermal conductivity, if you observe the materials from which my nest is built, you will soon discover that a lot of insulating materials were picked...

Materials that were used to build my nest (at least the ones that you can recognize):

this is an example of a recording of a hatching in one smart bird nest...

We came to the end...Does any of the following situations apply to your smart nest? 1. All young birds left the nest (fledged). 2. Some young birds left the nest and others died before. 3. All the eggs or young were consumed by a predator. 4. Eggs failed to hatch. 5. The nest was taken over by another species.

write down your observations of what happens in the nest during my incubation:

write down your observations on how my parents take care of me:

So now you know how i get my nutrients and the oxygen i need to grow...another very important variable is the temperature. I need to be kept warm in order to survive... I can’t control my body temperature when I’m inside here so i need to be incubated.

Did you know? When a material can’t isolate the heat, We call it a heat conductor?

How can we tell if a material is a good insulator?

Thermal insulators are bad at transferring heat. Materials can transfer heat when molecules that had absorbed heat(energy) bump into colder molecules.

My mother and my father will carefully select the nest materials. These materials should be good insulators to prevent the heat from escaping!

There’s a property of the material that tells us how good the material can transfer/conduct heat. It’s called the thermal conductivity.
