Welcome to our podcast, where we embark on outdoor adventures driven by the winds of curiosity! Informed by Carol Thompson's captivating book, 'Wind,' we dive into a world of exploration and learning. From crafting windmills to observing the dance of maple seeds carried by the breeze, each moment unfolds as an opportunity for discovery.

In our latest episode, we share our journey through a wind inquiry inspired by Thompson's work. As students engage in activities like the Maple Seed Target Adventure and experimenting with wind catchers made from ribbons and sticks, they delve into the unpredictable yet fascinating patterns of wind power. Through reflective discussions and observations in our Sit Spot, we ponder the intricate influence of wind on our surroundings, from scattered debris to delicate petals.

Join us as we navigate the complexities of wind and weather, capturing insightful reflections and fostering a deeper understanding of the natural world. Tune in to our podcast for an enriching exploration of the unseen forces shaping our environment, one gust at a time.
