Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorship- Hello, I'm Dennis Garner, and I am a teaching artist here at the Neighborhood North Museum of Play, and this is my teachable moment.
At Neighborhood North, we are curious about the way things work in the world around us, and so we have created a bunch of exhibits to help us understand our world a little bit better.
One of the things that we're really fascinated by is wind, and both our wind tunnel and our air maze allow us to discover and explore wind power.
One of our most popular activities here is our wind tunnel and we thought we'd help you to create one to experiment with at home.
All you need is a fan, some card stock, and some tape, then simply create a cylinder out of the card stock and tape the end to the fan to secure it.
Now that you have your wind tunnel, you're ready to experiment.
Try a simple experiment, like seeing what will fly or make it more complicated and create a vehicle to race.
Use your imagination to explore the power of wind.
