Wind Is Moving Air
Water and Weather
Wind is moving air. We cannot see air, but we can observe a windsock or moving leaves.
Did you know?
The windsock stretches in the direction the air moves.
Look together
Which clues show the same wind direction?
An idea to try
Observe a windsock or flag from a safe place.
For the adult reading along
A little more to discover
The windsock and branches have a consistent direction. Marks near the pinwheel suggest motion rather than pieces of air. Real wind speed cannot be deduced from a drawing of leaves.
