Build a Bird’s Nest

CUSTOM MATERIALS
Common Backyard Bird Chart (1 per student)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Birds turn sticks, grass, mud, string, leaves and even garbage into nests secure enough to hold a growing family using one main thing - their beaks! In this unit, kids think like a bird as they source materials and build their own nests.

WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. We recommend buying materials at least 5-7 days before your class and to plan about 3-4 hours of prep depending on the size of your class
