Beak Adaptation Test

📋 What You'll Need

• •Tweezers (represent a heron's beak)
• •A slotted spoon (represent a duck's beak)
• •Pliers or chopsticks (represent a pelican's beak)
• •A bowl of water with floating seeds or rice
• •A bowl of sand with small beads or dried beans
• •A bowl of water with gravel or marbles

👣 Step by Step

1. 1Set up three bowls: floating seeds, beans in sand, and marbles in water.
2. 2Use tweezers to try to pick up 10 beans from the sand in 30 seconds.
3. 3Use the spoon to try to scoop 10 floating seeds from the water in 30 seconds.
4. 4Use pliers to try to catch 10 'fish' (marbles) from the water in 30 seconds.
5. 5Try each tool on each bowl — which tool worked best for which food?
6. 6Match each tool to a real bird: heron (tweezers), duck (spoon), pelican (pliers).
