The eaglets are growing fast! Check it out. Maybe you'll catch feeding time when the parents bring some interesting food into the nests.

Work on your Inventor Challenge!
Have fun. We will share these at our next Zoom meeting! Details will be sent for a meeting next week.
If you are finished, you can check out the eagles and eaglets on the links below. There has been quite a bit of activity in the nests!
Inventor Challenge
Please check with your parents, and please send a picture of your finished invention along with your written explanation.
Due Wednesday, April 8, 2020
This is the Be an Inventor Challenge. Your job will be to invent something new. The theme is THE KITCHEN! Think of something that can help out in the kitchen. Think outside the box and let your creative juices flow!
Phase 1 - Think of something that could help out in the kitchen and make life easier for any family. In other words, what could you invent that would either save time in the kitchen or help make amazing food preparation easier or make an inventive new food easier to prepare? Somebody invented the toaster at one point. Somebody invented the dishwasher at some point! Go big and be creative!
Phase 2 - Sketch out a drawing of that amazing new idea. As you sketch, think about what materials you have to make a prototype of your great idea. A prototype is a model of your idea that we could show a company if we decided to really make your idea a reality!
Phase 3 - Make the prototype! Using materials in your house, make a lifesize or mini-version of your invention. Make it show off as much detail as possible! **See note below**
On a sheet of paper, explain how people would use it. Use details.
What is it called?
**Rather than making a model, you may draw a picture of your invention.
On a separate sheet of paper, explain how people would use it. Use details.
What is it called?

We have two eaglets in the nest on the link below! It's pretty fun to watch the parents feed their young eagles. Check it out.

If you go to the link above, you can easlily find the other nest by clicking the Watch Birds tab at the top. The nests we are watching are the first two under that tab.
Has anything changed since you last saw the nests?
