1 Class One: Seabird Basics Objectives and Activities by St. Paul Island teacher; Tonia Kushin. Objectives: 1a. Students will be able to list characteristics that differentiate a seabird from a land bird, and discuss the specialized behaviors seabirds possess. 1b. Students will know the main groups of seabirds and characteristics of each group. 1c. Students will list and find photos of main species of seabirds that breed on the Pribilof Islands. Activities: 1a. Use a Venn diagram, prior knowledge, and a basic google.com search to find characteristics of birds in general, and land birds vs. seabirds. Give students 1-3 minutes to fill in the Venn themselves or in small groups. After this time period, project a Venn diagram and allow each group to share some ideas as the teacher guides the discussion to include the appropriate material in each section. Subactivities: To show Dense Bones - get a beaker of water, a cork, and a paperclip. Use the cork (which will float in the water) to show why a land bird has hollow bones to help it be lighter and more able to fly. Use the paperclip (which will sink in the water) to show why diving seabirds would benefit from dense bones when going into/under the water to capture prey. 1
2 To show Wing Shape shine photos of gliding birds for students to see the general V shape. To show Head Structure ask students to make paper airplanes without direct instruction. Students will then line up on one side of the classroom to fly their planes. Bring their attention to the shape of the nose, and the wing area of the plane. It is also likely that someone will ask for a paperclip for their plane. Link all of these similar characteristics to those of a bird: e.g. the similarity between the sharp plane nose and a seabird bill that aerodynamically cut through water not air. The topic of bird flight will be taught with more depth in a future lesson. To show Specialized Behaviors - students will fill in the cartoon sheet as we discuss in class. 1.b. Students will take notes practicing a note taking format during a class discussion on the seabird Groups and their basic characteristics/ similarities. The Seabird Basics document provided by Ann Harding will be used for this. A matching activity will be used as an assessment of understanding. 1.c. First, conduct a general review of which seabirds the students know that breed on St. Paul Island. Then, show a series of color photos (for a small class size) or images on a smart board (for a large class size) and ask students to identify each species. If color photos are available, student will do a sorting exercise to group the species into the 5 main groupings provided. 2
3 Students will practice the Unungan (Aleut) names for each species. After the prior introduction, students will log onto computers and do the seabirds.net exercise provided by Ann Harding to explore what (and how many) seabirds breed in the Pribilofs. Discuss data collection by scientists and potential opportunities that the local students have to work with these people in summers, internships, and long-term. Students will be given (or pick from a hat) one species to begin to research. Websites will be used that were provided by Ann Harding as well as guidebooks found in the school library. 3

Except for the Galapagos Penguin, they all live in the Southern Hemisphere (but not all live where it is very cold)...gull-like birds. B. This group of species (family Alcidae) both fly and swim with their wings. They live only in the Northern Hemisphere. The Great Auk is now extinct. Species of alcid include the puffins, murres, and auklets..other seabirds C. All tubenose species (Order Procellariformes) have their nostrils enclosed in tubes. They include the albatross, fulmar, petrels, shearwaters and prions.. Alcids. D. This order (Pelecaniformes) includes the gannets, pelicans, boobies, tropic birds, cormorant, and frigate birds..penguins. E. The skuas, jaegers, gulls, kittiwakes and terns (family Laridae) 5
