You could build the body shape out of clay, and buy coloured feathers at a craft store. They should stick easily to the clay. Corn would make a good beak. As for the feet, I'm not sure... something with popsicle sticks?

Since they are only second graders, a plant or flowers would be good.  Plant the seed, water the seed, plenty of sunlight for the seed, the seed grows to a plant or flower.\n\nThis could be a classroom project if you are the teacher.\n\nYou could make it fun with a "CHIA PET"!

My science class did the same project a few years ago. I suggest suspending the egg within a sphere, try making wings to slow its fall. I dont think whether it is a trianlge or not will really affect its streght to much. Good luck

Make one yourself.  Use MS Paint or if you're really feeling fancy, Photoshop.  Of course, then you'll have to host it somewhere...

The other posters have all given good answers.  Think about scenes you see set up in a museum - they are large scale dioramas - your sister's will be a small scale version.  \n\nYou might want to paint the inside of the shoe box or line it with a fabric that will be a good one for the project title.  My kids used pictures cut out of magazines glued on popsicle sticks if they needed to stand up, plasticene, bits of stick, grass, stones, leaves, miniature figures and furniture, etc. (depending on the topic) from the dollar stores, play dough shapes, aluminum foil to represent rivers sometimes, artificial snow spray, anything that would add to the appearance. \n\nPlanning is important - you might want to have two shoe boxes in case you need to start over.  But overall it is an easy and fun project, and painting the inside of the box with a simple scene goes a long way toward creating a good diorama.\n\nI hope this helps.

get some batteries, get some wires, and a very small lightbulb and a socket. So it should look like this:\nBattery(+) ... wire ... paperclip ... lightbulb ... wire ... (-)Battery

I used to teach Sunday School, and It's GREAT to do a craft with them. I would look in a children's bible and pick out a good story and base the class on that story and what it teaches. Find a craft to do relating to it- even if it's just coloring. Read the kids the story and talk briefly about what it means, then explain the craft you guys are going to do and how it relates to the story you just read. Then you guys can all do the craft until the parents come pick them up!

First of all, don't worry too much about it.  Everyone will love it anyway.\n\nInstead of having the kids have a lot of lines, have a narrator, with occasional lines.  Keep costumes simple - towels, sheets, cardboard wings, etc., but focus on a well lit and well decorated stage and manger.\n\nA method that worked very well at our school was to do the nativity play mostly through Christmas carols and a narrator, with the kids mostly moving about the stage as appropriate.  We even kept the movement to a minimum - it can get confusing.  So as the play progressed the school choir stood in the background  (we used stands similar to bleachers at the back of the stage) and sang the best carol for the different stages and scenes of the play.   You will be able to incorporate Away in a Manger, Whose Child is This, We Three Kings, etc.\n\nBest of luck with it.  I hope these thoughts help.

uh, well, one time my friend and I had to do a project like that.  We got two of those clear bodies (you know, the mannequins they have that display clothes.)  You can get clear ones at Sam's club for free, if you know where that is.  We made a model of the body.  Like, we used straws for the intestines and a bowl for the stomach.  On the other body, we used sharpie and labeled the different parts.  (We also drew them)  Then we got a medicine dropper and put water mixed with food coloring in it.  We poured the water/food coloring down the first mannequin's esophagus.  Everyone could see it going through.  It was really cool and we got an A+!\n\nAlso, explain what's happening as the water/food coloring goes down.  Don't forget to put a bowl underneath, or else the water/food coloring will spill.  I guarantee this will get you a good grade.

An easy solution would be to use Playdough! (or other claylike materials).  It's easy to form into various shapes and stick together into a model.  And it is colorful without needing any extra painting.  You can easily add labels on toothpicks or a color key to describe the different parts.

You can throw a lady dog and a boy parrot in a sack and see what happens. Be sure to play Barry White to get them in the mood. Do you think the dog would lay an egg? hehehe. That'd be awesome.

Put on the top, "G'Day mate!" as a welcome sign.  Have the students make Austrailian animals and post them on it.  It really depends on the grade.  I'm in 5th grade and I would enjoy doing that.

Wow! That is a difficult assignment! please don't turn\nthis in, you will probably funk\n\nI traveled abroad to the Galapagos islands to study the \nadaption of animals to their environment. Birds have the\nadvantage of plumage which can blend into the environment\nand protect them from predators.  I admit that this is \nabsolutely the most boring assignment I have ever done,so\nI will abandon my attempt to continue. \n\nNow, use your brain and make up your own story. Good luck

Buy three live chickens, spray paint them and number them one, two, and four. Let them loose. ;)
