Lesson Overview
Students will learn about endangered animals in this lesson, with a focus on endangered birds. After conducting some basic research, students will work together in STEM teams to plan and design nest boxes (birdhouses) to attract an endangered bird species of their choosing.
Throughout the lesson, students will use their Engineering Portfolios to keep track of their research and plan out their nest box design.
