Here are some suggested questions to answer after you watch the mini-lesson:
1. Why do birds lay eggs in the spring?
2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about birds?
Bonus Activity: Can you build a nest that will hold an egg? Give it a try. If you can go outside, gather twigs, leaves, and grass to build with — just like birds do! If you can’t go out, use torn paper, rolled up paper, and string. You can’t use glue or tape! When you’re done building, test your nest with something round — like a marble, or even a real egg!
