All About Wind

Submitted by Beth K on

I don't know about you, but I'm not a huge fan of wind. I often say that wind is my "least favorite weather." Living in the mountains and next to a lake, we can get a LOT of wind. And that doesn't go well with my dislike of the thing. But! Wind is actually super cool. Have you ever flown a kite and wondered why it stays up so (sometimes) effortlessly? Or have you watched a hawk look like it's just hovering in the sky, facing into the wind? How does that work?!

AmeriCorps members Emma and Ashlee are here to help us understand the wind a little better. Click on the link below to investigate the wind with them!
