🌾 Bob Needs Our Help!

Remember when we spotted the three crows near the mound?

We made Bob the Scarecrow to protect our crops.

At first, Bob seemed to work! 🎉
The crows stayed away...

But now they're coming back! 🐦‍⬛🌱

It looks like the crows have worked out that Bob isn't very scary after all!

💭 Our Problem

Does Bob need an upgrade?

Look carefully at Bob and think:

🧵 What could we add or change?   👀 What might make the crows notice him?
💨 Could anything move in the wind?  💪 Does anything need to be stronger?

🛠️ Innovate Bob!

LO: To refine designs and suggest design improvements.

Look at our original scarecrow.

Think → Design → Improve

What could you change to make Bob 2.0 better at protecting our crops?

🐦 Can We Help the Birds Too?

We want to protect our crops...

but the birds need food too!

What if we could encourage them to eat somewhere away from our crops?

🌻 Bird Feeder Challenge

LO: To make design decisions, using knowledge of materials and existing products.

Can you design and make a bird feeder for our outdoor area?

Think about:

🥜 Where will the food go?
🌧️ Will it survive outside?
🐦 How will the birds reach the food?
🧵 What materials will you use?
🔗 How will you join the parts?
