Bird Sleuth Wikipage

We started work on our Bird Sleuth projects today by entering information onto the CFS-Birds 2013 wikispace (http://cfsbirds-2013.wikispaces.com/HOME).  Each student has a page on the wiki where they will document the progress on their bird studies. Each student will ask a question about bird behavior and then set up an experiment, a descriptive study, or a data exploration to answer that question. These projects might include looking at which birds will be attracted to feeders that are placed in different locations around a yard, or seeing if the presence of a potential threat affects feeding patterns, or how environmental changes over time may be affecting bird migration patterns. The pages will be continually updated until they are finished in November when each student will give an oral presentation the class. This week we will be narrowing down the questions that we will be investigating.
