🌬️ Science Week in 3rd Class: Where Does Wind Come From?
14th Nov 2025
As part of Science Week, 3rd Class explored a big question: Where does wind come from?
We learned that wind is moving air. The Sun heats the Earth unevenly, which means some places become warmer than others.
- Warm air rises
- Cool air moves in to take its place
This movement of air is what we feel as wind!
To see wind in action, we made our own paper windmills- showing how air moves.
Everyone had great fun creating, testing, and learning. Our windmills were colourful, creative, and a perfect way to feel science happening!
