Feathered Friends: A 5-Day Unit Plan on Birds

With approximately 11,000 species, birds are one of the most diverse animal classification groups characterized by their feathered appearance and migratory behaviors. From trilling canaries to squawking seagulls to braying penguins, birds inhabit every continent on our planet, even Antarctica!

In our comprehensive five-day unit plan, we’ll discover more about our feathered friends, exploring different bird species, their habitats, diets and the features that help them survive. Our youngest learners will explore the typical life cycle of a bird and how mothers protect and provide for their young.

Included in the unit plan are five days’ worth of engaging daily lesson plans for educators, graphic organizers, vocabulary activities, writing prompts, activity worksheets, comprehension questions, and more. We hope you enjoy exploring the fascinating world of birds and uncovering what makes this animal classification group so special!
