Early Years Science Wind and Air

(0)
A collection of resources for your early years topics on Wind / Air or Science. Activity Ideas Firstly, there is a colour poster to discuss with the children. They find out that Air helps to move things. Stong winds may be needed to help move heavier objects. They can decide if they could create enough wind to move objects like the hand fan or blow into objects like the whistle to make sound, or the bubble wand to make bubbles. There are small cards to cut out which correspond to the poster for children to match or talk about. There is a colouring sheet and 2 kite sheets - one colour and one black and white. Children can copy the colour patterns or make up their own. Practical Ideas Children could experiment with blowing into their hands or blowing feathers on a table to move them. Make bubbles or use ready made ones for outdoor or indoor fun. Make and fly kites. Make paper planes and fly. Blow up balloons and let go. With the inhaler, you could explain how this is used - there may be a child with asthma who could help to explain. Talk about the lungs here and their importance.
