Hang Glider

My parents brought a hang glider to show our class since we have been studying the weather and wind. They set up wind indicators, helped put the hang glider together, and watched the wind fill the glider. My parents even brought them doughnut holes from the Pierre Doughnut Shop that they got to enjoy for snack! Unfortunately, the surprise I had planned was to let groups take turns flying kites. We did not have enough time to get as many kites up as I was hoping. Hopefully the kids will be able to enjoy their kites at home!

Wind Vanes

We have been studying everything about the weather the past two weeks! We learned about the seasons, different kinds of precipitation, different kind of clouds, the water cycle, and now we learned about weather tools.
 This Friday each group made their own weather vanes! We predicted which way we thought the wind was blowing and then took them outside to test them out!
