WIND TUBES
Wind tubes provide playful and exploratory opportunities for learners of all ages to experiment with floating a variety of common everyday objects in a vertically moving air column. By exploring how objects interact with the wind, children develop ideas about flight, cause and effect, wind resistance, and aerodynamics.
Wind Tube Interactive Exhibit Guide
Wind tubes invite learners to explore, change, and experiment with different variables as they craft and fly their creations. The power of the vertical wind tube is that it often provides unexpected results that engage learners in the hallmarks of the scientific method: creative design, prediction, embodied experimentation, and analysis. Use this guide to host and facilitate your own interactive exhibit.
