STEM Challenge for Spring: Design and Create a Bird's Nest
A nature-based STEM challenge that is fun to create on both a small and large scale: a bird's nest!Support a Growth Mindset with STEM
Why try this challenge? In addition to creating something that seems simple (but is actually quite difficult), students have the opportunity to observe nests in nature, gather materials, and work on their growth mindset.Gather Materials for Bird Nest STEM
First, gather all materials needed for the challenge:
What objects do you routinely discard that could be reused or repurposed?
Test the nest with hardboiled, wooden, or plastic eggs filled with pennies (for weight). Can it support the weight of the egg?
Add more rigor into this activity with the STEM challenge resource (or get the pack of Spring STEM challenges) on Teachers pay Teachers:
