By Dr. Rajeev Tamhankar and Riddhi Chincholikar
The Wind Movement activity is a hands-on experiment that helps children observe and understand how wind moves objects. This fun and interactive activity encourages kids to explore the effects of air movement while developing their observation and critical thinking skills.
- Gather lightweight objects such as feathers, paper strips, cotton balls, or small leaves.
- Use a fan, blow through a straw, or wave a hand to create wind.
- Observe how different objects move with varying air pressure and direction.
- Experiment with stronger and weaker air currents to see how movement changes.
- Encourage kids to predict which objects will move the fastest or farthest before testing.
- Enhances scientific observation and inquiry skills.
- Teaches basic concepts of wind and air movement.
- Develops problem-solving abilities by experimenting with different objects.
- Improves motor skills through active participation.
- Encourages curiosity and creativity in exploring natural forces.
- Use different wind sources like a hand fan, balloon air release, or even running with objects.
- Ask questions like, “Why do some objects move more than others?” to spark curiosity.
- Try the activity outdoors to compare natural wind movement with artificial sources.
- Let kids create their own “wind-powered” toys, like pinwheels or paper boats.
- Make it a game by setting targets for objects to reach using wind movement.
- Feathers, cotton balls, paper strips, small leaves
- Straws or handheld fans
- A small electric fan (optional)
- A flat surface for observation
