Now that you’ve watched the Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder video, I’d like you to discuss it with each other. In your discussion consider the following (but you can bring up other points you see as relevant too):

1. What is the problem identified in this video? Do you think it was solved and if so, how? If not, why not?
2. Would you have approached this problem differently? Why/why not?
3. How do you see this video relating to your Engineering Proposal assignment?

The problem identified in this video is the squirrels eating all the bird food put out for the birds. The problem was solved throughout the video with trial and error using different types of bird cages. The first two cages failed in solving the problem, however the third one did not, with which the experiment was taken to a farther step to see how far are the squirrels willing to go to get the nuts. if there was anything I would have done different that would be maybe put more nuts on the diversion so that it was more noticeable to the squirrels. Other then that I thought this was an amazing experiment, to test the squirrels problem solving methods throughout the different stages in the experiment. This relates to our Engineering Proposal assignment because that experiment was also a collaborate team work to propose to the audience a method to solving the problem of the squirrels eating the bird food.
