1. Students can compare the magnitude of the reaction force that occurs between
birds and air when the birds are flying
Work Instruction:
One day Iwan was playing in his yard, his father's yard was raising various
poultry such as chickens, ducks and pigeons. His father was training the dove
by releasing it from the cage, then the dove flew at its height. While his mother
was feeding chickens and ducks, after being fed the chickens were left alone
and not put into a cage. Then Iwan wondered, why did the chicken and duck not
fly like doves when they both had wings and feathers?

why did the chicken and duck not fly like doves when they both
had wings and feathers
Chickens and ducks can lift their bodies occasionally with flapping
wings, but can not carry their bodies higher alias can not fly like a bird.
The reason is because chickens and ducks have a larger body than
their wings. That way, they will not be able to fly high with the
strongest muscles. Chicken and duck wing size is not proportional to
body size or out of balance.
