Wind
Without craftsmanship, inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind.
~ Johannes Brahms
A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine.
~ Anne Bronte
Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.
~ Winston Churchill
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
~ Jimmy Dean
Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid.
~ Homer
Wind has always been a powerful force in the words of authors, public speakers, and poets. It is a force to be reckoned with for construction workers and roofers. It often means the loss of a crop for farmers.
Around here lately, there has been a lot of wind! The neighbors are losing shingles by the day. The garbage cans were in a "head on collision" with a car, and the dogs are walking sideways!
What a wonderful time to embark on a unit study of wind!! Fly a kite, blow bubbles, track the direction...there are so many things to do with or in the wind.
Here are some sites to get you started. Where do you go from there? See where the wind takes you!
http://sln.fi.edu/tfi/units/energy/wind.html has an excellent unit study on wind.
