This week, my K5 classes tried to build a bird's nest using materials they found outside. We revisited the Design Process and talked about how birds are amazing engineers that can build a nest without any hands or fingers! While we were gathering sticks, leaves, grass, etc. outside, we came upon a real bird guarding her nest. It was quite ironic and interesting to see the real thing before trying to build a nest ourselves. At the end of the lesson, we came to the conclusion that building a bird's nest is not at easy as it looks!
