Begin the lesson by showing pictures of swans on the projector. Ask the students if they have seen a swan before and how they felt when they saw it. Explain that swans are graceful and elegant birds that live in and around water bodies. Give an overview of the topics that will be covered during the lesson.
Explain that swans can be found in various parts of the world like Europe, Asia, and North America. Swans prefer to live near water bodies like lakes and ponds. Use a picture of a swan's habitat to help students understand better.
Explain that swans are large birds with long necks and webbed feet. They have white feathers and a distinctive orange beak. Show a picture of a swan and label its physical characteristics on the whiteboard.
Explain that swans mate for life and build nests near water bodies. Baby swans or cygnets stay with their parents until they become independent. Swans are known for their grace and beauty, but they can also be aggressive and protective of their territory. Show a video of a swan's life cycle and behavior.
Explain that swans play an essential role in the ecosystem by helping to control the population of aquatic plants and animals. They also act as indicators of the health of the water bodies in which they live.
Recap the key points from the lesson and ask students if they have any questions. Hand out the handouts with information about swans for students to take home and read.
Evaluate student understanding by asking questions about swans, their habitat, physical characteristics, and behavior.
Ask students to research and make a presentation on a different type of bird that lives near water bodies. They could compare and contrast their chosen bird with swans.
