Animal Adaptations at the Austin Nature & Science Center

By
Today, SBLC Fourth Graders visited the Austin Nature & Science Center.  We learned about mammals, birds, reptiles and their various adaptations. Our mammal friends included a rabbit...  a ferret... some mice... and a bat! We explored the traits of birds with a ring-necked dove...  a quail...  and an adorable (and blind) screech owl.  We saw first-hand that a bird's bones are hollow (ask your student to tell you why)!  We also learned about the four types of reptiles (again, your student should be able to share those with you) and the bravest of us even touched one! The overall consensus among Fourth Grade SBLC Scientists: a very fun and exciting day of learning! Hooray!
