Wind Sock Creation and Observation | NPT3
Season 2022
Episode 17
To help learn about wind, you can make a wind sock with your kids. There's a fun Curious George video on PBS LearningMedia to help. Then you can measure the wind, record what happens, and make predictions for the future. This experience can be fun to find out whether the predictions about the wind near your home are right, and it's a great way to help your kids learn about the world around them.
