How to Make a Rabbit Trap

Rabbit in the Trap
The bait is hung on a string from the top of the large box so that it may be seen and smelled from the outside. The rabbit naturally goes into the holes and in this trap there is nothing to awaken his suspicion.
He smells the bait, squeezes along past the center of the tube, when it tilts down and the game is shot into the pit, the tube righting itself at once for another catch.
The top and sides of the large box may be covered with leaves, snow or anything to hide it. A door placed in the top will enable the trapper to take out the animals.
By placing a little hay or other food in the bottom of the box the trap need not be visited oftener than once a week.

How to Make a Pinwheel – Art Projects For Kids
How to Make a Pinwheel:
Attach the end of the needle to a wooden stick and the pinwheel is finished.
You can place more than one pinwheels on one stick and use it as a scarecrow.

How to Make an Easel
Smooth down with a plane, four pieces of pine, 1 in. thick, 4 in. wide and 4 ft. long, until suitable for legs. Make three cross-pieces, Fig. 1, and join the legs with them as shown in Fig. 2. With an auger bore a hole in each leg about 3 in. from the bottom, and fit into each a little peg, Fig. 2, for the picture to rest on. The peg should be of hardwood so it will not break.
Cut the handle from an old broom, measure off the right length, and put a hinge on one end. Fasten this leg on the second cross-piece, thus forming a support for the two front legs, Fig. 3. The easel may be finished according to the individual taste. It may be sandpapered and stained and varnished, or painted in some pretty tint, or, if preferred, may be enameled.

Interactive Whiteboard Resources to Learn Biology
HUMAN BODY SYSTEM DIAGRAM :
Biology is a subject that is related to our daily life. The various lessons in it reflect in every form in all the living being. Since its so closely related to mankind it can be more creatively pictured and taught to the children. Nature can be well shown by using the live and moving pictures and videos online. All the human body related pictures and functions can be presented in an innovative manner.
Interactive Whiteboard Resources to Learn Biology
If a teacher is teaching the functions of various internal organs, without the IWB resources than it becomes very difficult for the students to imagine the working of that particular organ. On the contrary if the teachers use the IWB resource they can connect to the internet and show the exact working of any organ. Now a days even 3D images and videos are available to improve the learning. For instance, the 3D video actually shows the movement of the heart in a human body. How the blood is pumped from one compartment of the heart to the other and then how the purified blood is further transferred to all the veins. Since the students actually see the functioning step by step it creates a print on their mind and it remains for a longer time.
Like the earlier example there are many such functions and images related to human system that be shown to the students. This will keep the students interest in the subject. When the video is been played teacher can ask the students to make their own diagram referring to what they see. This will help the students to do self analysis and see what they recollect from the video.
These are the few examples of how the interactive whiteboard resources can create innovation and, make a subject like Biology simple to understand.
