Me and my group made a wind vane on Monday.
We used one straw, one pin, a pencil, paper, scissors, and play dough.
- First we were cutting the two ends of the straw to make slits in them.
- We also cut the paper, we made one large square and two smaller shapes. One small triangle and square.
- Then we stick the small shapes into the straw slits to be the pointers.
- On the large square we wrote North, East, South, and West so we would know which direction it would be pointing at.
- We stabbed the pencil through the cup and used the pin to stab it through the straw and the eraser.
- We used playdough for the anchor base to keep the pencil steady so it wouldn’t fall down.
Then we went outside to go to the playground to put our wind vane on the spinner to make some wind because there wasn’t any. But it didn’t work so we had to go inside and we used the fan and the wind vane spun around from the fan wind.
