Bird Nests

Placentinkers worked hard to design, engineer and build bird nests while showing empathy for the baby birds! This hands-on project gave students the opportunity to develop their creative and analytical thinking while learning about the natural wildlife around them. After the nests were built, we tested them with our Makerspace "eggs". We read the book Nest by Jorey Hurley. This book has colorful illustrations that are paired with a single word on each page. Students were able to use their imaginations and talk about what the birds might do next. Nest design is an intricate and beautiful process!
