ASSESSMENT RESIDENCY 2012 FINAL PROJECT

In this course on General Zoology, students will learn about the external morphology of modern birds, including key morphological features, differentiation between songbirds and shorebirds, and their classification based on physical traits and ecological niche.

  1. ASSESSMENT RESIDENCY 2012 FINAL PROJECT BY MIALY RABE

  2. Course Context: This course covers the study of structure and physiologyof all animal systems in the Kingdom Animalia from the molecular level to the whole organism, the development and life cycle of individual animals, classification, animal behavior, population and distribution studies, and the interactions between animals and their biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) environments. This study unit covers ORNITHOLOGY or the study of the modern bird in class Aves. “GENERAL ZOOLOGY BIO 212”

  3. 1) Love, protect and develop a positive ethical value towards all animals • 2) To gain a FUNDAMENTAL scientific knowledge of birds (evolution, anatomy and physiology, morphology, reproduction, behavior, habitats and ecological nich) BIG DREAM GOALS

  4. Pair of Northern Cardinal Cardinaliscardinalis

  5. Alignment Grid

  6. BY THE END OF THE SEMESTER, THE STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO: Specific Learning Objectives

  7. Identify and describe the external anatomy of modern birds by using at least 15 key morphological features LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1

  8. Knowledge, comprehension Taxonomy Level Category

  9. Lecture on the external morphology of birds to illustrate the different parts of birds. • Basic morphological structures are similar in birds though some parts will not show at either relaxed or active positions Learning activity 1- Obj.1

  10. Parts of a Songbirds (part of lecture)

  11. Parts of a shorebirds (part of lecture)

  12. Bird Glossary (handout)

  13. Learning activities 2 –Lobj.1

  14. Learning activity 2: Label this bird using the word bank provided

  15. Class quiz: Match the pairs: Formative Assessment

  16. EXAM QUESTION:EXAM Q #1: Match the pairs ( word picked from what we did in class) • EXAM Q #2: Indicate the name of this bird and label the parts on this songbird Summative Assessment

  17. Compare and contrast the external morphology of modern birds LEARNING OBJECTIVE 2

  18. Knowledge, comprehension, application Taxonomy Level Category

  19. PART OF LECTURE: Emphasis on structures that differentiate between the Songbird and the Shorebirds • This typical shorebird differs significantly from passerines in wing structure and in its two distinguishable groups of scapulars, which are much more prominent than the scapulars on passerines. • The scapulars hang loosely when relaxed, covering most of the wing. (They are often pulled up when active, exposing the wing coverts.) • The secondaries and primaries are nearly or entirely concealed when the wings are folded. Note the many rows of lesser coverts (bottom illustration). The pale V on the back of many shorebirds is formed by pale edges on the mantle and upper scapular feather groups. Learning activity 1 –L.obj. 2 Shorebirds VS Songbird

  20. Compare the morphological structure of the songbird and the shorebird. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 1. Lobj.2: VENN DIAGRAM comparing PARTS SHOREBIRD AND SONGBIRD

  21. Instructions: Put the numbers inside the circles as appropriate • Common features in the middle • Shorebird only A • Songbird only B FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT1.Lobj.2: VENN DIAGRAM (CONT’D)

  22. EXAM QUESTION 3: In your own words, compare and contrast the external anatomy of the songbirds and the shorebirds (1 paragraph- min. 5 lines) SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

  23. Identify at least 10 birds by their classification Order based on their bird physical traits (morphology) and their habitats or ecological niche LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3

  24. KNOWLEDGE COMPREHENSION, APPLICATION LEARNING OBJECTIVE 4
