Less than $5 Middle School Environment Webquests

Students will learn about birds' different adaptations to help them survive the cold winter months. The quest takes place at Cornell University's Lab of Ornithology. They can work with partners (I find students are most engaged this way) to learn about different adaptations as you act as the facilitator. It is also perfect for individual distance learning.
