K-12 Education Cornell Lab of Ornithology

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's K-12 Education program creates innovative resources and delivers transformative training that empower educators to build young people’s science skills through nature, participatory science, and inquiry. 
*Students develop science process skills by asking and answering their own questions inspired by observations. 
*Students engage in authentic inquiry through participatory science. They carefully observe birds, ask and answer their own questions based on observations and data. Students build the skills to think like the scientists they are!
* Students spend time outdoors, connecting with nature by focusing on the fascinating sights, sounds, and behaviors of birds.
