Materials: Straws, feathers, pom poms, plastic bottles, pebbles, crumpled paper balls, any objects that might move with air.
Place objects on a flat surface and blow through a straw, aiming air at the objects to see which ones move and how much air it takes to move them.
*Extension: Can you find 3 MORE things that air will move?
*Extension: Have air races. Who can move the feather to the end of the room the fastest?
*Extension: Go on a wind walk and observe all the things moving in the wind.
*Variation: Use turkey basters or paper fans to move objects.
*Variation: Create abstract paintings by dropping small amounts of paint on paper and blowing the paint around the paper with a straw.
