🪺 Prototype Build and Critique Loop

Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Self Directed Learning Content Expertise 6-8.AF.6.7 6-8.AF.6.6 Submission Required

Teams build a testable nest prototype from approved natural and classroom materials, using annotated sketches and material lists from their notebooks to guide choices. Midway through work time, teams enter quick critique circles: they show one structural feature, give feedback to 2 peers, receive one glow and one grow from classmates, and make one targeted revision the same day. Students document the revision with labeled photos or sketches and a short explanation of why the change should improve protection, stability, or comfort.
