In this session, we will be learning how to make a climbing bird interactive activity, to learn about how animals adapt to their environment, as well as migration. This bird will 'fly', and climb up the threads. The recommended age group for this project is 4-10 years old, although all ages are welcome!
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- Paper
- 2 feet of string or yarn - Tape/glue - Scissiors - Optional: Coloring/decorative materials HOW TO
Step 1: Starting out with a rectangular sheet of paper, fold it diagonally into a triangle.
Step 2: Open it up, and fold the other side diagonally as well. Step 3: Having the flat side on the bottom, fold the two sides of the triangle up to the top corner, creating a diamond. Step 4: Pull the corners of the diamond back, and crease it about halfway. Step 5: With the two layers of paper that are left on top, fold them down as well, leaving about an inch in between the two. Step 6: Flip your bird over. Set this to the side, and fold your string in half, with a loop at the top. Step 7: On the bird, bring the edges together, and slide the string through. Use glue/tape to secure. Step 8: Attach the loop of your strings somewhere up high, and watch the bird fly when you pull at the bottoms! THE LESSON
In this lesson, we will be learning about migration and other adaptations patterns. We will be looking at the 3 types of adaptations that are observed in animals and why they happen, along with the reasons behind migration happening. This hands on activity of creating the climbing bird ensures that the children will retain all of the content they have learned. It further deepens their creativity and critical thinking skills, which pushes them to make more real world connections. Find our science lesson and craft explanations in the presentation below!
