9/27/2020 0 Comments Flying Bird CraftBy Swara Repala And Sanjana Kambhammettu
In this session, we will be learning how to make a model of a bird to learn about migration and how animals adapt to their environment. This bird will fly if it is thrown, similar to a paper airplane. The recommended age group for this project is 4-10 years old, although all ages are welcome!
Materials needed:
- Two or three pieces of paper (any color)
- Scissors - Tape, glue, or a stapler - Optional: coloring materials How to
Step 1: Fold a piece of paper in half, along the long side.
​Step 2: Bring one corner of the paper to the center of the fold (the tip of the corner should be on the outside of crease line, about halfway on the line). Step 3: Staple or tape the flap to hold it down. Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side, creating the body of the bird. *Note for steps 5-8: you can use our template attached below for reference or to print and cut out!* Step 5: Draw and cut the head of a bird, on the second piece of paper. This should be about 3 inches wide. Step 6: On the same piece of paper, draw and cut out the shape of a bird's tail. This should also be about 3 inches. Our template has both the head and tail, so you can print it out if you prefer! Step 7: Tape or glue the head to the front of the bird, and the tail to the end of the bird (attach these pieces to the inside of the fold). Step 8: Draw and cut out feathers (you can use our template below!). Tape these to the wings in any way you like. Of course, you can skip this step and color it, or leave it as it is! Step 9: Throw your bird like you would a paper airplane, and watch it fly! The Lesson
In this lesson, we will be learning about migration and other adaptations of animals. We will be looking at the 3 types of adaptations and why they happen, along with why migration happens. The hands on activity ensures that the kids will retain all of the content they have learned, and further deepens their creativity and critical thinking skills, which pushes them to make more scientific connections. You can find our science lesson and craft explanations in the presentation below!
