To I just taught a biodiversity lesson on Biodiversity & Engineering using Mystery Science. We suggest letting students first try to come up with ideas on their own, providing these Inspiration printouts only to those who need extra guidance.
We created the Bird Feeder Inspiration printout for students who may be stumped or frustrated by the task of making a bird feeder. Student prototype bird feeders may not be sturdy enough to actually put outside and use. Be warned: spilled bird seed can be messy. If you would like to add bird seed to students’ prototype feeders, you'll need to buy a bag. You can divide these up before class for easier distribution. We suggest providing each student with 8 dot stickers. Tear aluminum foil into 6” squares so that you have enough for each student. You can use materials you find there to substitute or supplement our list of supplies. We encourage you to raid your recycling bin for building supplies. If you plan to do the activity in two sessions, building the bird feeder begins at Step 7. You may want to divide this lesson into two sessions, stopping after Part 1 and continuing with Part 2 at a later point. Part 2 (building the prototype) can take up to 30 minutes.
Part 1 (designing a bird feeder) takes 15 to 20 minutes. Homeschool students can work on their own. Each student will create their own bird feeder, but we suggest students work in pairs to share ideas.
