As a class do reading together about how the wings of birds and
airplanes are similar. Pay particular attention to the shape of the
wings of certain birds and how airplanes mimic those shapes. Discuss how
various shapes distinguish the abilities of the flight patterns.

Show pictures to the class of various birds and airplanes and how
some birds and airplanes can almost look alike in their flight.

Pass out art paper, pencils, erasers, and marking pens. Have the

of the contour of their wings. Encourage the students to draw at least 3
or 4 pictures of various birds and airplanes wings that are similar.

Have the students share their pictures with the other members of the
class. Have them discuss their findings about the wing similarities
between the bird and airplane type.
