We went to the Museum of Natural History in NY this weekend. My son got interested in Dinosaurs. In the middle of the night, when ALL good ideas visit people's minds, I get this idea of creating a anthropologist experience fit for a 4-year old.
Archeologists use a drawing of bones to identify new bones found.
Bones are placed over the printout.
Cool picture!
So I thought of using a whole chicken, boiling it, using the bones to place in plaster of paris and Luke could "find" them using a chisel, a face mask and a thick metal nail.
But as I am boiling the chicken, I realize I could make soup......so I add some veggies and barley.
So I looked online and found this great image of a chicken skeleton.
I love the internet.....because after a little more searching I find this amazing image if the chicken bones in order.
I know this will be a blast!
I will order this book from my local library and see what else we can do with chicken bones.
Know any other cool science projects? Let me know about it.
