Students use science to help our feathered friends

Mrs. Manzi’s second/third grade class at PBE designed and built bird feeders as part of a Mystery Science activity.

Two elementary students, a boy wearing red shirt and black mask, and a girl with a red and black checked shirt and dark mask, sit at a table making bird feeders. There are supplies on the table.

The students in Mrs. Manzi’s class creatively used common materials, like cups, plates, sticks and clothespins to make the birdfeeders. Then they went outside and placed the feeders to help feed their feathered friends this fall.
