AND YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THE WIND MOVING THINGS, TOO.
OK. LET'’’S GO GET SOME ANSWERS.
[HUMS] HI THERE, MAY.
>> HI, SID.
>> HEY, I HAVE A QUESTION.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE WIND MOVE SOMETHING?
>> HMM.
OH, I HAVE.
I WAS AT THE BEACH WITH MY COUSIN ELLA, AND SHE TOOK OUT A TISSUE TO BLOW HER NOSE, AND THEN, WHOOSH, THE WIND BLEW HER TISSUE WAY INTO THE AIR.
>> WOW.
WELL, DID SHE FIND THE TISSUE?
>> YEP, AND THEN SHE BLEW HER NOSE.
PBBT!
>> OOH.
>> HA HA HA!
>> THAT'’’S A GREAT STORY.
THANKS, MAY.
>> YOU'’’RE WELCOME.
>> BYE.
>> BYE.
>> OOH, WOW, GOSH.
HI, GERALD.
>> OH, SID, I DREW A HIPPO.
>> YEAH.
THAT'’’S A REALLY BIG HIPPO.
>> YEAH.
HIS NAME IS MELVIN, AND HE ATE ME.
>> THAT IS SO COOL.
HEY, I HAVE A QUESTION.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE WIND MOVE SOMETHING?
>> HUH?
OH, YEAH.
OK.
I HAVE SEEN THE WIND MOVE SOMETHING.
>> REALLY?
WHAT?
>> MY HAIR.
THE WIND BLOWS, AND THEN IT GOES ALL OVER THE PLACE.
>> HA HA HA!
WOW.
NOW, THAT IS COOL.
>> YEAH.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, GERALD.
>> OK. BYE.
>> BYE.
[HUMS] HEY THERE, GABRIELA.
>> HELLO.
>> HEY, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE WIND MOVE SOMETHING?
>> HMM.
OH, YEAH.
ONE TIME, MY DADDY WAS READING A NEWSPAPER OUTSIDE, AND THEN THE WIND BLEW THE PAPER ALL OVER OUR YARD.
HE HAD TO CHASE IT EVERYWHERE.
HA HA HA!
"COME BACK HERE, NEWSPAPER.
OH, I GOT YOU.
OH, NO.
YOU BLEW AWAY AGAIN.
COME BACK HERE, NEWSPAPER."
>> HA HA HA!
THANKS, GABRIELA.
>> YOU'’’RE WELCOME.
>> AND NOW THE RESULTS OF MY SURVEY.
MAY SAYS SHE'’’S SEEN THE WIND MOVE A TISSUE.
GABRIELA HAS SEEN THE WIND MOVE A NEWSPAPER.
>> "NOW YOU COME BACK HERE, NEWSPAPER."
>> HA HA HA!
AND GERALD HAS SEEN THE WIND MOVE HIS HAIR.
MAYBE YOU'’’VE SEEN THE WIND MOVE SOMETHING, TOO.
WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT.

WHOOSH!
HA HA HA!
WATCH OUT!
>> YIKES!
>> HA HA HA!
>> LIKE A TORNADO.
>> HA HA HA!
>> SHOOM.
>> HA HA HA!
>> HEY, AWESOME.
>> WOW, IT'’’S WINDY INSIDE THE CLASSROOM TODAY.
>> MM, YEAH, AND IT WAS A WINDY NIGHT AT MY HOUSE.
I RAKED UP A PILE OF LEAVES, AND THEN THE WIND BLEW THEM ALL OVER THE THE BACK YARD.
>> OH, NO.
THAT WASN'’’T VERY NICE OF THE WIND.
>> HMM, THANKS, MAY.
>> YOU'’’RE WELCOME.
>> SUSIE, WHAT EXACTLY IS WIND?
>> GOOD QUESTION, GABRIELA.
WHEN THE AIR AROUND US MOVES, IT CREATES WIND.
>> BUT IF WIND IS JUST AIR, CAN IT REALLY MOVE BIG THINGS LIKE SID'’’S PILE OF LEAVES?
>> OH, THAT'’’S ANOTHER GOOD QUESTION, AND I HAVE SOME PICTURES OVER HERE THAT WILL HELP ANSWER THAT.
>> OH.
>> OK. WELL, THE WIND IS A KIND OF WEATHER, AND SOMETIMES THERE'’’S A SOFT, LIGHT WIND, AND SOMETIMES THERE'’’S A BIG, STRONG WIND THAT CAN MOVE BIG THINGS.
>> OOH!
>> WOW!
>> SEE?
HERE'’’S THE WIND BLOWING A SAILBOAT ACROSS THE WATER.
>> COOL.
>> NEAT.
>> YEAH, AND LOOK.
HERE'’’S THE WIND BLOWING ON THE WATER.
WHAT IS THE WIND MAKING ON THE WATER?
>> WAVES!
>> RIGHT!
WAVES.
YEAH, AND LOOK AT THIS, THESE SAND DUNES.
THE WIND ACTUALLY MOVED THE SAND AROUND, SEE?
IT FORMED HILLS WITH LINES IN THE SAND.
>> WOW, THE WIND CAN DO AMAZING THINGS.
>> OH, YOU'’’RE RIGHT, MAY.
HEY, SCIENTISTS, I THINK IT'’’S TIME FOR A SPECIAL OUTSIDE SUPER FAB LAB SO WE CAN INVESTIGATE THE AMAZING THINGS THE WIND CAN DO.
>> YEAH!
>> ALL RIGHT.
GRAB YOUR JOURNALS.
LET'’’S GO.
>> COME ON.
LET'’’S GO MAKE SOME WIND.
YAY!
>> YEAH.
>> I LOVE GOING OUTSIDE.
>> IT'’’S THE SUPER FAB LAB... >> OUTSIDE!
YEAH!
>> WHOO!
>> INVESTIGATE, EXPLORE, DISCOVER!
AH!
>> WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
>> AH, OK, SCIENTISTS.
TODAY WE ARE THE WIND.
>> COOL!
>> WE'’’RE GOING TO BE THE WEATHER?
>> WELL, SORT OF.
I'’’M GOING TO FILL UP THIS WATER TABLE.
THEN YOU CAN PUT THESE PAPER BOATS INTO THE WATER AND TRY BLOWING THEM TO THE OTHER SIDE.
>> OH!
OH, YEAH, JUST LIKE THE WIND BLOWING A REAL SAILBOAT.
>> EXACTLY, GERALD.
>> OH, AND THEN WE CAN BLOW ON THE WATER TO MAKE OUR OWN WAVES.
>> WELL, THAT'’’S EXACTLY WHAT I HAD IN MIND.
>> OOH, AND MAYBE WE CAN BLOW ON THE SAND IN THE SANDBOX TO MAKE SAND DUNES.
>> VERY GOOD, SID.
YOU GUESSED THE NEXT PART OF THE ACTIVITY, AND TO HELP YOU MAKE THE LINES IN THE SAND, YOU CAN USE THESE STRAWS TO BLOW THROUGH, ALL RIGHT?
I THINK YOU'’’RE ALL READY TO BECOME WINDY WEATHER, SO GO FOR IT.
>> YEAH!
>> OK. >> HEY, YOU'’’RE A SCIENTIST.
YOU CAN TRY THIS, TOO.
>> LET'’’S EXPLORE HOW WIND MOVES THINGS AND CHANGES OUR SURROUNDINGS.
BLOW INTO THIS TUB OF WATER TO MAKE SOME WAVES.
NOW TAKE SOME PAPER BOATS AND PUT THEM INTO THE WATER.
HEY, YOU'’’RE MAKING WINDY WEATHER.
JUST LIKE IN A REAL OCEAN, THE WIND IS MAKING THE BOATS MOVE.
FOR THE NEXT PART OF OUR WIND INVESTIGATION, TRY MAKING SAND DUNES BY BLOWING ON SAND THROUGH A STRAW.
WOW, YOU'’’RE CREATING LOTS OF WIND AND MOVING LOTS OF SAND.
LOOK AT THAT.
YOU MADE A LITTLE MOUNTAIN OUT OF SAND.
WHAT ELSE CAN WIND DO TO THE SAND?
TRY WORKING AS A TEAM TO CREATE EVEN MORE WIND.
YOU JUST MADE A VALLEY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SAND.
YOU'’’RE JUST LIKE WINDY WEATHER, MOVING SAND AND CHANGING YOUR SURROUNDINGS.
NOW MAKE SOME OBSERVATIONS IN YOUR JOURNALS.
YOU CAN DRAW PICTURES OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CREATED WIND TO MAKE WAVES, MOVE BOATS, AND MAKE SAND DUNES.
ALL RIGHT, SCIENTISTS.
I CAN'’’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT KIND OF OBSERVATIONS YOU MADE WHEN YOU BECAME THE WIND.
>> HA HA HA!
>> GERALD, MAY WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR JOURNAL?
>> YEAH, OK. OK. LOOK.
HERE'’’S THE WATER BEFORE WE BLEW ON IT, AND THEN I TOOK A DEEP BREATH, AND I WENT, "WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!"
AND THEN, OK, SEE, LOOK WHAT IT DID TO THE WATER.
IT MADE THESE BIG WAVES, JUST LIKE THE REAL WAVES IN THE OCEAN.
>> YOU'’’RE RIGHT, GERALD.
SO, WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK HAPPENS TO THE WAVES IN THE OCEAN ON A REALLY, REALLY WINDY DAY?
>> OH, WELL, THEN THE WAVES, THEY GET REALLY, REALLY BIG.
>> VERY GOOD, GERALD.
OK. >> MAY WE SEE YOUR JOURNAL, SID?
>> OK.
WHEN I BLEW INTO HE STRAW A LITTLE BIT, THE SAND DIDN'’’T REALLY MOVE, BUT WHEN I BLEW A LOT, I MADE A LITTLE HILL OF SAND, AND LOOK.
I EVEN MADE SOME LINES, JUST LIKE ON THAT SAND DUNE.
>> YOU SURE DID, AND NOW YOU KNOW HOW REAL SAND DUNES ARE FORMED.
>> BY WIND.
>> LOTS AND LOTS OF WIND.
>> EXACTLY.
WOW, I'’’M VERY IMPRESSED WITH MY WIND EXPERTS.
I THINK IT'’’S TIME TO PLAY WITH ALL YOUR WINDY NEW IDEAS.
>> YAY!
>> ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.
>> LET'’’S GO, WIND BUDDIES.
>> IT'’’S TIME FOR... >> "GOOD LAUGHTERNOON!"
HA HA!
>> HEY, GERALD... >> YES, GABRIELA?
>> WHAT DOES THE WIND DO ON ITS BIRTHDAY?
>> I DON'’’T KNOW.
WHAT?
>> IT BLOWS OUT THE CANDLES.
>> HA HA HA!
>> HEY, GABRIELA... >> YES?
>> HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE YOUR HAT DOESN'’’T BLOW AWAY ON A WINDY DAY?
>> I DON'’’T KNOW.
HOW?
>> YOU DON'’’T WEAR A HAT.
>> HA HA HA!
>> SID!
>> GERALD!
>> HEY, WHAT DO YOU CALL A COW THAT CUTS THE GRASS?
>> HMM, I DON'’’T KNOW.
WHAT?
>> A LAWN MOO-ER.
>> BOY, THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY, BUT WE'’’RE KIND OF TELLING JOKES ABOUT THE WIND.
>> OH.
RIGHT.
WELL, OK. LET ME TRY AGAIN.
WHAT DO YOU CALL A COW THAT CUTS THE GRASS ON A WINDY DAY?
>> I DON'’’T KNOW.
WHAT?
>> A WINDY LAWN MOO-ER.
>> HA HA HA!
>> NOW, THAT'’’S MOOEY.
[MOO] >> OK. LET'’’S PLAY PRETEND.

>> OK. >> AND WE'’’RE ON THIS BIG SAILBOAT ON THE OCEAN, AND I AM THE CAPTAIN.
>> AYE, AYE, CAPTAIN GABRIELA.
>> OH, WHAT A NICE DAY.
THE WATER IS NICE AND CALM BECAUSE THERE IS NO WIND.
>> AHH.
>> OK. NOW IT'’’S WINDY.
>> YEAH!
