Get ready to learn about the power of wind! Little Edisons build a sailboat and watch it use wind energy to move across the water, build a glider and see the best design to catch the power of the wind and fly the farthest. Last, we make a windsock to take home.
Little Edisons read Wild Weather and learn about the water cycle, make a cloud in a jar, make it rain, and demonstrate evaporation. Then we build a rain gauge to take home so we can measure the rainfall like scientists do!
