CLASSROOM – Wind
National Ride the Wind Day gives us the inspiration to harness the wind in the Classroom. From fun experiments to craft projects, you never know what the wind will blow in. We can study its power while having a little bit of fun, too.
We also offer a look at bats, the creatures of the night. International Bat Night each year strives to teach us about bats and dispel some of the myths associated with the.
HOW TO OBSERVE
