History 08/07/06: Cro-magnons

Today I read about the Cro-magnons and I learned how they used a bow to make fire. Here's how they did it:

1. Make a bow out of wood
2. Get a straight stick
3. Get a piece of bark
4. Put the stick vertically on the horizontal piece of bark
5. Wrap the bowstring around the stick at the top
6. Pull the bow back and forth really fast until you see smoke
7. Start putting DRY branches on the fire a bit at a time
8. Blow on the flame every few seconds but not to hard to rid it of ash
9. Do whatever you want with it

BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE, ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!
