Identifying and Classifying Game Birds

Next Generation Science / Common Core Standards Addressed HS‐LS2‐8. Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on: (1) distinguishing between group and individual behavior, (2) identifying evidence supporting the outcomes of group behavior, and (3) developing logical and reasonable arguments based on evidence. Examples of group behaviors could include flocking, schooling, herding, and cooperative behaviors such as hunting, migrating, and swarming.

Bell Work / Objectives Describe the characteristics and types of quail. Describe the characteristics and types of pheasants. Describe the characteristics of chukar partridges.
