  • The way scientist create knowledge is by building models to explain something in nature.
  • They run LOTS of different tests to build up a model of understanding. Many times different scientists have competing models because they want to know if there are multiple solutions to a problem.
  • Once all of the tests keep telling the scientists that one model is better than the other one the scientists support that model.

Si estoy de acuerdo

No estoy de acuerdo

Monos pueden hacer personas de muchos años entonces los pájaros pueden hacer otro tipo de pajaros

Va a tomar muchos años pero si es posible porque se pueden adaptar

Los sí pueden cambiar por que cuando crezcan cambian como los humanos

Yo no creo que no se puede cambiar el pico por que, si se la cai el pico no puede crecer otra vez

No puede crecer por que el pico cambia no se que va a comer. El pico no puede crecer como los dientes.

El pajaro tienen un cerebro que sabe operar cada parte de su cuerpo, necesita tres picos para comer las plantas. No supiera controlar por su cerebro.

Si estoy de acuerdo

No estoy de acuerdo

Por qué la comida de los pájaros está ahí

Por que van con los hábitats, se acostumbraron a los habitats

Se adaptan a su lugar que viven

El tamaño de los picos y los pájaros no pueden comer nopales

La foto no es realista

Todos los pájaros vinieron de una isla y no se parecen

Que pienso

Algunos pájaros nacieron con el pico para que les ayudará a encontrar comida y que fuera más fácil para vivir.

Algunos pájaros pueden cambiar sus picos durante su vida para hacer su vida más fácil de vivir y encontrar comida.
