Finally it was test day! Usually students don’t get excited over these words, but today was different. Third graders took their recently designed and assembled birds’ nests out to a tree on campus and carefully selected a branch and placed their nests. Hard boiled eggs were used to test the strength of our designs. All nests proved their function and held one, two, even up to six eggs! Our task to design and build a strong nest was a success by all! Some lucky birds in our area may even reap the benefits, as some nests will be left in the trees.
