On Friday morning, Arman found a feather and gave it to James who wanted to identify to which animal the feather belonged. He also wanted to do a Science experiment with it. We decided to have the children answer the question "What will touch the ground first, the feather or a tissue paper?" Most of the children thought the feather would touch the ground first. Ella explained that the feather was smaller so it would touch the ground first. We did the experience twice and both times the tissue was first to touch the carpet. James explained it was because the tissue paper was heavier than the feather.
Today, we used Google to search images of feathers that matched Arman and James feather. The feather they found is from a Ringneck Hen Pheasant. These feathers have color tones in brown, cream, gray, and black.
