Launch Lab: Build a nest

Rocket, Raven and Nova find a toy egg.

"It needs a home!" says Raven.

Rocket says, "Let's build a nest!"

  1. Animals change places to meet their needs.
  2. Beavers build dams that make ponds.
  3. Prairie dogs dig burrows.
  4. Birds build nests. People build houses.
◇ NEST BUILDERS
Go on a walk together.
Gather twigs, grass and leaves.
Shape them into a nest in a bowl.
Set a small ball in it.
Safety first
Only pick up things from the ground.
A grown-up checks each item.
Wash your hands after.
For a grown-up
Ask: what did you notice?
Ask: what would you change next time?
Compare your nest to a real bird's work.
