Wind Tubes
Today, in preparation for our field trip to the indoor skydiving place, we experimented with a wind tube. After we made parachutes, the kids got to put different materials into the wind tube, just to see how they reacted. As the day went on, the kids were able to design different things, combining multiple of the materials to create new structures to test. While some structures left the wind tube almost instantly, some others hovered beautifully in the middle. We also found that while some things only flew on the highest setting of the fan, a few flew better on the lower settings.
