What a fantastic way to naturally learn about science and math. To have access to eagles and nests is an amazing way to naturally engage children in these discussions. I love how you used the children’s curiosity and interests in nests to create your own playground eagle nest in exact proportions so that the children could ‘feel’ and see the exact size of the nest – 7 feet.

This activity looks like so much fun. You taught the children about math in such a fun way. I love how big the children estimated the nest to be and were accurate.

I’m a firm believer to teach what children are interested in and love the idea of the children making their own big nest

This could be a great observational activity for all ages. The Teacher could describe how the bird built the next with various materials, by weaving them into the structure, inside, on top, around.

Collecting the data of how the nest is made and guessing what kind of birds laid the eggs is a great idea.
