    • Background:
      • In this lesson you will be discovering what a hummingbird needs to survive and create a habitat that meets all for a hummingbird’s needs. If you have the ability, you can include some of these into your own yard to attract hummingbirds. I would love to see anything you find or add to your yard.

Not all the items in the catalog are needed in a hummingbird habitat. If you have a friend or a sibling in the 4th or 5th grade you want to complete this part with, you can; just make sure you each complete and turn in the work.
      • Decide what you will put in your garden. On page 2 of your workbook list and explain why you are including it in your garden.
      • Draw your garden and label to parts that help make it an ideal habitat for hummingbirds.
