Wind can be a difficult concept for young kids to understand, but there's a simple way to bring wind to life. Watch its effect on other things, such as leaves rustling on a tree, or, in this case, a sofly tinkling windchime. Make a simple windchime out of old silverware and any other pieces of metal you can find, and pump up the science learning by practicing making scientific observations as you watch the windchime flutter.
What You Need:
- Old silverware, metal lids/caps, and hardware (nuts and bolts)
- Round plastic lid or a tin lid
- Twine
- Hammer
- Nail
- Bells (optional)
