This resource is a hands on activity with Science and technical writing components.  Students participate in a simulation about how some "birds" are more specialized for food collection than others.  They then are guided through inquiry questions in which they must use the data and observations they collected to formulate and defend their answers.  I would use this in a high school life science or Biology class to help introduce guided inquiry into the curriculum.  This supports the shift to NGSS standards, the Scientific relative of Common Core.
