Mrs. Esteppe's second grade completed a fun engaging project in Science. In this lesson students investigated which kinds of birds are likely to visit a bird feeder based on what they eat. Then students drew their own bird feeder design to attract a specific type of bird. Then, they built a prototype of their bird feeder using available materials. These future scientists had great ideas!
