Chicken Parts: Form and Function
by Christine Mendoza
This is a third grade lesson focused on structure and function. In the lesson, students observe, investigate, and research chickens to create a model focused on the parts of a chicken and their corresponding functions. This model then leads to a broader discussion of bird structures and how these structures help various birds to survive. Finally, students select an animal of their choosing to investigate its structures and how those structures help the animal to survive.
