The Mystery of Anting Word Search

About:

This 25-word word search explores anting, a puzzling animal behavior where birds apply ants or insects to their feathers. Students in Grades 3–5 search for terms including mystery, chemical, medicine, scientists, and behaviour, engaging with inquiry-based vocabulary about how animals protect and care for themselves. Use it as a warm-up before reading about animal mysteries, as a sub-plan activity, or as a springboard for classroom observation of local bird behavior.
