We have read about the first flight of a young seagull. Your teacher will now divide the class into groups. Each group will work on one of the following topics. Prepare a presentation with your group member’s and then present it to the entire class.

A) Progression of models of Airplane


B) Progression of models of Motor cars


C) Birds and their wing span


D) Migratory birds-tracing their flights

A) The very first model of an aircraft was found long back in Egypt in 1898. And, with the dream of flying in the sky came Wright brothers from America. They were the first in the world to successfully invent and fly the airplane. The two brothers set a milestone for the aviation industry. And today, there exist many models of airplane and aircraft.


B) The credit of inventing the first motor car goes to a French person. He invented the first internal combustion motor car in 1808. After him, another successful discovery of the first petrol car was invented by a German engineer, Karl Benz in 1885. And, then finally a diesel motor car was invented in 1890’s by Rudolf Diesel.


C) Birds are amazing animals which can fly around in the sky and are exist different types of species according to different environmental conditions. Birds have wings of different lengths, some have short wings whereas some have very large wings. The wingspan of a bird is the distance from one wingtip to another wingtip. In the living birds, the wandering albatross has the largest wingspan ranging from 8 ft to 11 ft.


D) The birds migrate due to various reasons. The two most important reasons being the food and nesting conditions. Due to the scarcity of food in one location to the regions of high resources of food. But a very common fact is known about migrating birds is that two-thirds of the birds prefer flying in the nights.
