Ornithology: California Towhee - Research Project

Ornithology: California Towhee Research Project Students dive deep into research about the California Towhee songbird in this engaging science project. Working individually or in small groups, learners use textbooks, online resources, or library materials to uncover facts about topics like habitat, predators, diet, and conservation status. Then they record their findings by completing the provided data chart. An excellent way to build research skills and learn about local wildlife, this project works for in-class work or as an at-home assignment. Students ultimately gain experience searching for information, evaluating sources, collecting important details, and presenting research logically and concisely. Appropriate for upper elementary or middle school science classes, this project brings an enriching hands-on element to any life science or environmental studies curriculum.
