Scientific method
1. Name the problem or question
2. Form a hypothesis and make predictions based upon it
3. Test your hypothesis
4. Check and interpret your results
5. Report your results

Student Questions & Investigations
1. What type of birds visit our courtyard?
2. Will a fake cat scare birds away from a feeder?
3. How does the average count of crows change during the year?
4. What are some of the biggest survival threats to American Robins?

Why study birds?
• Birds are everywhere and easy to study
• Students are naturally captivated by bird song, flight, colors, and behaviors
• A context for the scientific process— observation, discovery, conclusions
• Lifelong learning and environmental awareness

Citizen Science
• “Scientists can’t be everywhere, so kids from all over can record data and send it in.”
Heidi, grade 7
• “The more data you have, the more accurate the conclusions will be.”
Aaron, grade 8
