Bird In A Cage Science Experiment

Joe & I had so much fun tonight creating this bird in a cage science experiment. It is so easy to make and created an environment of hands-on learning.

To do this science experiment:
1. Print the printable and cut both circles out. Grab your FREE printable in my shop. (you have to check out, but it's free) You can also use a cup to trace two circles. Cut them out. Draw a bird on one and a cage on the other.
2. Glue the two circles together. The bird should be up on one side and the cage pointing the opposite direction on the other side.3. Punch 2 holes on each side of the circle.
4. Cut two pieces of string the length of your arm.
5. Thread the string through the holes and tie a knot at the end of each string.
6. Hold the two ends of your string and flip the bird & cage using a circle motion with your arms.
​7. When the circle will not flip anymore, pull the strings taut. The circle should turn on it's own and appear as if the bird is in the cage.
