Look at the sky and notice evidence of wind from a safe indoor spot.

Look, then try.

Choose a closed window with a grown-up. Record the date and time, then describe what you can see. If you cannot tell what the weather is doing, say so instead of guessing.

Observe with a grown-up from a safe indoor spot. Never look directly at the sun. Stay indoors during storms. For the toy shelter, test over a tray with adult help and keep devices dry.

Use a finger, stylus or mouse in each drawing box. Type below it, or ask a grown-up to write your words. Your work stays in this tab. Save before refreshing or leaving.

Evidence of wind

Look for leaves or a flag. Describe what they do.

Your ideas belong here. There is no score.

What are we learning?

An observation uses evidence. Moving leaves can show wind, but a still picture cannot tell us everything about the weather.
