Each member of your group is a bird who needs to collect food particles to survive! You will use
your "beak" to collect food.
Collect as much food from the plate as you can
in 30 seconds using only your “beak” and placing the food particles into your cup. (Each bird should have its own cup.)
Count the amount and type of food you have collected and enter the information into the table
below for each bird in your group.
As a group, calculate totals and averages for each type of food.

Rules for food collecting:
Food can only be collected using your beak.
