This unit is appropriate for all levels of students, &can be modified to suit the needs of the individual class. It also lends itself to an 'Elementary Outreach' program where older students could do the actual construction activities of the feeders and nest boxes and then install them on the school grounds of the elementary school and act as 'mentors' for the younger children.

One may choose "beginner, intermediate, or advanced" reading options. A Spanish language version is also available. There are mutiple ways to make direct connections to the State Science Content Standards through the investigations and experiments offered at this site. There are "Internet Video Conferences" and "Web Chat Sessions" for those interested in networking with others who share a similar interest in all the aspects of science that relate to aeronautics.
