Some hummingbirds can beat their wings more than 80 times per second! Directions: Research the number of wingbeats per second for hummingbirds, other birds, and insects found in the United States. (at least 4 birds or insects) Calculate the number of times each of these animals and insects beat their wings in 1 minute, and then in 1 hour Present your findings in a table.
