Assign each student or group a specific raptor species to research, including its habitat, diet, behavior, and conservation status. Have students watch a live stream of a raptor nest and keep a journal documenting their observations. They can note behaviors, interactions, and any changes they see over time. They can use an online resource such as Book Creator reviewed here to record their observations. Have students create a campaign to raise awareness about raptor conservation. Students can create a large map displaying various raptor habitats across the United States or the world using Google My Maps reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
