RSPB Big Schools' Birdwatch - 8th January to 19th February 2024

This very successful citizen science project is run annually by the RSPB. It is an ideal opportunity for pupils of all ages to identify different bird species and count the numbers they see in the school grounds. Details about the competition and the RSPB supporting materials can be found here.  

This collection brings together resources which can be used to help identify birds. In addition, there are other resources which can be used to extend the topic of birds into other parts of the curriculum. There are activities covering classification, evolution, adaptation, use of materials, and some mathematics resources more appropriate for secondary aged students which can show how the data received by the RSPB can be analysed, and the use of scatter diagrams.
