What will the wind blow?

Today, we experimented to answer the question, "What will the wind blow?"  We discussed windy weather and predicted different items that we thought the wind would blow.  After our discussion, it was time for us to try it out ourselves!  We pretended that we were the wind and had nine different stations that we rotated between to find out if our own wind could blow it.  Before experimenting, we made predictions about each of the nine objects (kleenex, spoon, feathers, straw, blocks, crayons, pencils, and paperclips).

Below are some pictures as we tried this out on our own!

We had so much fun experimenting to find out what the wind will blow. As we wrapped up, we discussed how easy it was to blow the feather. The students suggested that this was because the feather is SO light! On the contrary, we discussed how the metal spoon was the hardest object to move. Based off of our previous prediction, we predicted that the spoon was so hard to move because it was heavy! 

My kindergarteners continue to amaze me every day! We are looking forward to more activities during our unit on weather!
