The content area would be science and the grade level I would do this with would be 3rd grade. I would show the students this picture of the holes in the tree. Then I would have the students think about how these holes were formed into this tree. Was it an animal, or bugs who made these holes. Once they make their perdiction. Then we will come together as a group and have a chart and write down what they thought made these holes. After we do that i will tell them that a bird made these holes. I will show them a picture of a woodpecker and talk about why they make these holes and about the way there beak is made to perform this task.
This is a great picture Alicia! This would be a wonderful science lesson. It would be interesting to see what the children think about the holes and who or what made them. It would be great for them to predict what they think and then eventually find out exactly what the tree is and how the holes were made. Where was this picture taken?
