As part of our weather unit in science, we are investigating the WIND. Students were told they were going to make an instrument that would measure if the wind was blowing and how hard. The were given a straw, a 2 inch piece of scotch tape, and two strips of crepe paper streamers. These were their materials. I did not give directions. Their job was to think about how they could use these materials to make a tool for measuring the wind. They all did a great job! Here are some pictures.
