Objective: Make a bird feeder out of Recyclable Materials under 50 minutes
Materials:
Materials:
- Recyclable card board boxes/ Recyclable plastic bottles
- Rubber Band
- Carving knife
- Tape
- Staples/Stapler
- Clips
- Plastic container (plastic cup)
- Bird food & Water
Procedures:
1)Get recyclable materials such as cardboard box, 2-liter bottle, and a plastic wide cup
2)Brainstorm ideas
3)Draw prototype bird feeder
4)Cut out parts for bird feeder
5)Glue/put them together according to your design plans
6)Test it out with seeds and water or a different substance such as sand, rocks, etc.
Analysis: Outside the bird feeder, there is a light landing pad for birds to land on. The bird feeder has a hole that is wide enough for a small bird such as a robin to fit in. The hole is an entrance inside the bird feeder where the seed bowl and the water bowl lie. Birds will have to walk on to a tight line of rubber band that resembles the structure of a tightrope. The water bowl was made carefully to hold a lot of water and not spill over. The seed bowl also had the same concept.
Conclusion: Our bird feeder was able hold water and bird food and had a comfortable, small space for small birds to land in and feed on the resources. It was really accessible especially since it was made out of recyclable materials. One thing we did well was that we made the bird feeder complex and made it able to hold the resources necessary for feeding a bird. One thing we could improve on is creating a more stable structure for our bird feeder since it looked like it was a little unstable if a bird went into the bird feeder.
