Ornithology: The Blue Jay - Research Project

Ornithology: The Blue Jay - Research Project Students dive deep into the ornithology of blue jays with this research project. They use science textbooks, encyclopedias, or trusted online sources to uncover details about the blue jay's physical characteristics, habitat, reproduction, diet, and more. The project worksheet guides students step-by-step through the research process with clear instructions and a data chart to fill out. Teachers can implement this as an individual assignment, partner work, or small group activity. When finished, students will have gained extensive knowledge about the blue jay which they can present creatively to the class. This cross-curricular project develops key skills in research, informational writing, collaboration, and public speaking.
