New Brunswick educators are pleased to share these learning resources created for the For the Birds virtual exhibition. Although these teaching resources are based on New Brunswick curriculum, they are intended to reach beyond New Brunswick schools to all interested educators within this exhibition's audience.
Student exploration of New Brunswick birds, as illustrated in this virtual exhibition, can be easily linked across the curriculum to include social studies, language arts, science and art; the areas covered by the featured lesson plans.
All learning resources may be altered to meet the individual needs of a school, differenct students or alternative teaching styles. Learning resources include unit plans and individual lessons.
