-A wind vane is a simple yet effective tool for teaching weather patterns and the principles of wind direction in a science classroom. Instructions included.The Wind Vane with heavy metal support base is designed to be durable to withstand the elements. The heavy metal base helps keep it upright during high winds. Simply face the Wind Vane towards the north to determine the direction the wind is blowing. An instructions guide is included.Wind Direction Observation: Teach students how to read wind direction by placing the wind vane outdoors and recording which way the arrow points. This activity helps students understand how wind direction is always named for where the wind is coming from (e.g., a north wind blows from north to south).Weather Data Collection: Combine wind vane readings with temperature, cloud cover, and barometric pressure observations to create a class weather station project.Air Pressure and Wind Relationship: Use the wind vane alongside barometers to discuss how high and low-pressure systems affect wind direction.Engineering Design Challenges: Let students build their own wind vanes as part of a hands-on STEM project, exploring concepts like balance, symmetry, and aerodynamics.
