Bird Builds a Nest

Bird is building her nest. She pushes and pulls twigs into place until she’s made a cosy cup, ready and waiting … can you guess what for? This beautiful picture book is the perfect introduction to forces and the concept of pushing and pulling.

The main narrative tells the story of a bird building her nest. The smaller captions point out and explain the scientific concepts behind the story – forces, pushing, pulling, weight, strength and gravity.
Complete with an index, bibliography and an experiment to get children thinking about the science behind the story.
