2.4 Compare natural systems with mechanical systems that are designed to serve similar purposes, e.g., a bird?s wings as compared to an airplane?s wings.
Build a Bird House
Grades:3 - 5
Summary: Students will construct bird nests and birdhouses. The students will research a bird of their choice in order to design a house that will meet that bird?s specific needs. This activity works well in conjunction with a 9th ? 12th woodshop class whose students would partner up with your class. However this is not a necessity.
