Tommy's "Bird Model"





This is Tommy's Science and Art Project he is turning in to show everyone at the school for their Science and Art Night, this Friday night. He is very excited and can't wait to show everyone!! The is what he wrote to explain how it works.


"This is a demonstration of how birds fly. The paint sticks are like bones and the papers are the feathers. The joints are the bead and the piece of raquetball. If you move the "bones" the feathers will move too. That's how birds fly. The air that goes over the wing travels farther. The air under the birds' wing travels shorter." By Tommy Snow 1st grade


Not too bad for a 7 1/2 year old huh? He came up with all of this completely on HIS OWN!! Here are some pics to show you what it looks like.
