Children explore how wind can move things in this lesson plan featuring hands-on activities and a video excerpt from Curious George. They begin to explore different ways to move air (such as blowing, waving, and fanning). Next, children explore different ways to make an index card move across a table. Children then work in groups to investigate how many breaths it takes to move various items across a floor or table. Finally, they watch a video in which George discovers that moving air from a fan can make bubbles, and then discuss what kinds of “breaths” work best.

This lesson is part of the Curious George STEM Collection.
