This week in science we are looking at some weather tools that help meteorologist do their job.  Yesterday we investigated the thermometer and today we looked at the wind vane (weather vane).  We watched a short movie learning the function of the tool. Then we went to a website to research the way wind vanes are built and to look at some examples.  website  Then they were given the design challenge to build a working wind vane.  They were put into groups and told their supplies. (playdough, index cards, paper cups, straws, and push pins)  They had to follow the engineering design plan to come up with a working wind vane.  Check out their building.
