Dear Homeschool Family,
I'd like to tell you about a wonderful science education resource brought to you by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The BirdSleuth Science Investigator’s Kit for Homeschoolers is a wonderful way to engage your children in science through hands-on experience and outdoor investigation. And, in celebration of the start of the Project FeederWatch season, we’ve discounted the kit price by $10!

Kids are naturally curious about their backyard habitat and are motivated by the fun of attracting birds and contributing real data has real meaning. Parents appreciate that the lessons are hands-on, highly engaging and educational, and provide a long-term science study that is ready right out of the box.
The curriculum is built around the Project FeederWatch (PFW) citizen science project. Through PFW, people throughout North America record data about the birds that visit their feeders throughout the winter and spring. The BirdSleuth Science Investigator’s Kit invites children to become citizen scientists: learning about their local habitat, designing feeders that will attract diverse birds, identifying birds, and sending their important data to Cornell University where it will be used by our scientists and conservation biologists. Your BirdSleuth kit comes with everything you need for months of study: project access, lesson plans, a student journal and resource guide, two kid-friendly books, posters, and information about participating successfully in the project.
Give your family something meaningful, educational, and fun to do this season! Get the BirdSleuth Science Investigator’s Kit for Homeschoolers, and find out more about our special resources created for homeschool families!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Fee
