Make a research group. Choose a bird to research from the 'Can You Name These Birds' Slideshow.
● What is it called - see if you can find out the common name, maori name and scientific name.
● Where does it live?
● Find out how humans affect that seabird.
● Is anything being done to protect them
already?
● How can we reduce the effects of humans on
seabirds?
● How could we include the local community?
Make a google document or slide show to share your research. Post it on Seesaw.
