Whether it’s in a twiggy nest, a muddy burrow, or even just out on a rooftop, birds need a place to raise their young. Different birds have different needs, based on their size and lifestyle – so using our knowledge of size and shape, can we figure out which local bird uses the Twelve Hills Nature Center birdhouses, based on their dimensions? This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant DRL 2115393. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.This stop is designed for upper elementary, middle and high school students. We invite all interested groups to reach out and find more information on creating content of their own math walk or STEM walking tour with us at talkstem.org/create-your-own-walkstem.
