"Windy" Things To Make
Make A Pinwheel
Everyone can make a pinwheel by following a few simple steps and using ordinary classroom materials. Remember, the more colorful, the more fun!
Make An Anemometer
Kids may find "anemometer" difficult to say, but they'll find an anemometer easy to make by following the instructions for this simple Dixie cup model.
Make A Wind Direction Indicator
Basically a simplified windsock, this indicator will very quickly have your students measuring the wind's direction.
Make a Wind Vane
Commonly called a "weather vane," the wind vane indicates wind direction.
