5. Air: Fly Like the Wind

<BODY> <h2>5. Air: Fly Like the Wind</h2><br> Air is constantly on the move. The movement of air from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area causes the wind to blow. Our Windy projects take advantage of air pressure to make them work. <B>Projects include:</B> <I>Plastic Canvas Whirler</I> - See the effects of wind when you hang this whirler outside on a breezy day; <I>Wrapping Paper Kite</I> - Make your own kites from wrapping paper and sticks. Kites are a great way to see wind direction and enjoy the effects of the wind; <I>Cowboy Wind Chime</I> - Feel and hear the wind as it blows! Create a fun wind chime with bandanas, glue, and old silverware; <I>Sail Away</I> - A sailboat is a perfect example of our dependence on the wind. Your sailboat has a 90’s twist, the entire surface, boat and sails, is tie-dyed with non-aerosol spray paint; <I>Fish Windsock</I> - Recycle a two-liter bottle with foam scales for a whimsical windsock. The hollow design will catch the wind and swim through the air; <I>Hands On Project</I> - Learn about a craft project designed by a 10-year-old girl to help defray the medical costs of a friend's family. 07DR PI 30 min. <A HREF="index.htm" target=_top>Home</a><br> </BODY>
