This class we started a sub-topic of our theme "matter", air. This is a little difficult because we cannot see air, yet air has its characteristics.
We started out by making air: blowing on our hands. We felt it but we did not see it. Then we read the book "Wind"

And found out that air helps birds fly and wind makes trees sway.
Then we went to the experimental part. First we made objects move with air: by blowing we can move some things. If things are light, like a plastic cup, then little air is needed. If things are heavier, like markers, then we need to blow harder.
For the experiment we had to color the picture with the poem "Who sees the wind". The unusual way to color it was with blowing paint through the straw.
It was very interesting because little scientists learned how to take paint with the straws and then try to make different shapes as they blow.
Home practice: I recommend for your little scientists to practice watching the wind in the trees or flags as they blow. I also suggest to practice doing pictures with blowing paint.
