In Year 1 we have been investigating the best material for a nest. We made nests using chicken wire, tissue paper , tin foil , cotton wool and felt. We considered the properties of some of these materials. These are some of our thoughts
Cotton wool ” soft and warm “,
Chicken wire ” strong but cold “
Tissue paper ” would go soggy in the rain “
Tin foil ” shiny, so mummy bird can find her nest “
Felt ” warm and cosy”
We then put our hard boiled eggs in the nest and dropped each one from a height to investigate how the materials protected the egg.
