Find photos of bird beaks or show a prepared four slide PowerPoint, "Extreme Beaks" to introduce your class to this special animal adaptation. Provide them with a data table and supplies to try gathering food with tools that each represent a different style of beak. Class data is compared, and then a discussion is held about the Galapagos Island finches as observed by Charles Darwin. This classic activity is enhanced by the PowerPoint and discussion.
