Quackers for pond animals!

We had so much fun exploring the special adaptations of ducks today! Ducks are a type of bird that loves to live in and around the pond. These birds have special adaptations, or characteristics, that help them live in ponds. We did some hands-on experiments to see how the oil on a duck's feathers repels water. It's super important for their feathers to be dry when they need to fly! We also tested some tools to see which one works most similarly to a duck's bill. One our favorite parts of the day was getting to play Duck, Duck, Goose outside!
