Did you know that wind turbines were so big?
Wind can be funWe tied a string to a plastic bag to see if it would fly like a kite. It did!
It takes a lot of wind to fly a kite! We went to the kite festival in Cary.
A wind experimentGet the tools: string, lids and petroleum jelly.
You may need to cut a hole in some lids. Tie a string to the lid.
Rub petroleum jelly on the lid.
Tie to a tree and wait a few days.
The wind blew some lids around and around the branch.
