Who has been eating that leaf? Which animal left its teeth marks on those nutshells? Who peeled off the bark from that old tree? Food rests tell us which animal was eating them, and how they were eaten. During this hour we will investigate and understand more about wildlife feeding signs, and eating habits. Are you ready to use your magnifying glasses? You will examine in detail live samples using scientific tool kits, and do exciting scientific activities!
Kids will:
make scientific observations, learn how to identify animals (mammals, birds, insects) by their eat/chew marks
learn the function of specific teeth (incisors, canines, and molars) in different mammals (e.g. mice, rabbits, squirrels)
learn about animal behavior and their activities by their eating marks patterns
understand what is a food chain and a food web
