Online STEM Workshop - Bird Nest Challenge

Join Science Specialist Stena for an interactive, Facebook LIVE lesson with a bird nest building challenge. Gather up the supplies below beforehand! Suggested supplies: 3-4 cups of equal heights (this is the base of your bird nest) 3-4 rulers or something of similar length and sturdiness. Other options include paint sticks, chop sticks, butter knives, etc. (These create the structure that you will use to support your bird nest). Any materials that you predict will make the best bird nest (this can be anything! You can challenge yourself by only using materials you can find in the backyard or the junk drawer - you can make it even harder by only choosing items you can pick up with tweezers) Have Fun! A handful of coins or other small items that can be used to test the strength of your nest. Raw eggs NOT recommended. Optional - tools similar to a birds beak (IE: pliers, chop sticks, tweezers, a rubber band to wrap your fingers together, etc) In this lesson we will learn about bird nests. Students are invited to engineer their own bird nest and test its strength using everyday materials. After our experiment, we will think about what we can do to improve our nest and compare it to nests in the wild. -- We are in this together! Every week, Harbor WildWatch will offer three free, educational videos. These videos will be a combination of livestreams and pre-recorded workshops that explore our natural environment, provide STEM learning opportunities, and offer activity ideas for at-home learning. Tune into our Facebook and YouTube channels on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays to catch our biologists providing fun educational videos for all ages. Note that a Facebook account is not required to view any videos on Facebook. On Thursdays we are live in partnership with the Too Cool For School Facebook group, developed as a global resource for parents experiencing school closures due to COVID-19.
