6M meet Captain Beaky?

In their work on adaptations 6M got all beaky today. They used different types of tongs as beaks and tried to pick up different foods

Some had small pointy beaks

And others had big long beaks

The "food" consisted marbles, string, rice, pin pong balls, water, rubber bands and all sorts of other things.

They used all sorts of techniques not just pinching and squeezing.

This helps show why birds have different beaks.

Some were better at picking up certain foods.

But were rubbish for picking up other foods.

The pupils had 30 seconds at each feeding station.

Then they changed places and could opt to use a different beak.

They learned that different shaped beaks are better for different types of food.

And had a lot of fun.
