Fun with a fan

Today we learned about air and the effects of wind.

• We tied ribbons to the fan…
• hung a cape over the fan…
• draped toilet paper…
• let the fan blow us in the face making our hair blow wildly…
• watched feathers fly when dropped in front of the fan…
• and threw balloons in the fan… watching them bounce back at us.

My daughter especially loved making the balloons hover when the fan was on low. This activity was part of our learning theme for the week: Air. For more themes go here.
