Week 3, Wind Experiment

We have been learning about the weather for the past three weeks.  This week we discussed the ways in which we adapt to different types of weather. We spoke about the special types of clothes we wear for different types of weather, as well as what activities we can do in certain types of weather, we also discussed what precautions one should take in extreme weather conditions.

The weather of late has provided us with a lot of sun, heat and rain, so we have been able to take the children outside to let them experience these conditions, but there has not been much wind to speak of.  So we decided to bring the wind into our classroom and do an experiment to see what objects the wind can blow and what objects  wind cannot blow.  The wind was provided by the children blowing onto objects, some of the children seemed to be trying their best to reach the type of winds only seen in a T8 but once the gale force winds turned into a gentle breeze we were able to get a more accurate idea of what objects wind can blow and what objects wind could not blow. Much fun was had by all the learners as they got to make a poster to record their evidence of the objects that were blown by the wind and the objects that were not blown.  Here are the pictures from our Wind Experiment.
