Learners build bird nests. In this Science lesson, students consider climate, location, and structure when building their bird nest. Learners try to locate each other's nests within the activity site.

Young scholars identify local birds and their habitats. In this wildlife lesson plan, students list various birds that live in their area and match the descriptions of the birds to the photos. Young scholars build a diorama of a birds nest.

Students observe birds building their nests. In this habitat lesson plan, students develop a Best Building Supply Bag and record how the birds build their nests. Students keep a Field Journal.

Second graders explore the lives of birds by researching their natural habitats. In this nest building lesson, 2nd graders investigate the craft of making a bird nest and discuss their useful qualities for the animals. Students utilize...

Second graders create a bird's nest from recyclable material. After a discussion of animal habitats, 2nd graders collect recyclable materials, appropriate for nest building during a nature walk. They use their materials to build a nest...

Students work together to design and build a birdhouse. They research a bird of their choice and build the birdhouse that means that bird's specifications. They discover the importance of designing.

Students construct a nest for a fictitious ground-nesting bird.They create models of the bird (along with its eggs) that might theoretically live in this habitat. They write in a daily journal about what happens to their nests in a...

Students create posters about raptors. They synthesize information they read about raptors and select a raptor. They draw a picture of their raptor and include facts relating to where it lives, characteristics, feeding habits, size, name...

Students read and discuss background information included with this instructional activity. They brainstorm the best sources for developing a list of native or migratory pollinators. Students work in groups to design habitats based on...

Fourth graders develop an understanding of how engineers use wind to generate electricity. They will build a model anemometer to better understand and measure wind speed. They discover that engineers design wind turbines that generate...

Pupils role play the role of investigative reporters. In groups, they determine what type of bird is leaving its droppings on the overhead highway beams. They answer a given set of questions and present their conclusions to the class. To...

Students explore natural animal habitats. In this instructional activity on biomimicry and habitation design, students will use classroom and field examples to examine animal habitats. Students will construct a model of a natural animal...

This cross curricular instructional activity involves eggs. Students read about eggs. A counting game involving an egg carton and ping pong balls (eggs) is played as students toss balls into numbered egg carton cups and adding their...

Students work cooperatively to create a spring-time bulletin board for classroom use in this excellent Art-based lesson. The lesson includes ideas and tips on how to create a successful board that looks as if it is a window to the...
