http://misslankey.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Miss Lankey's 1st Grade Class. Thursday, March 15, 2012. A visit from the Math Science Innovation Center. On Wednesday the Math Science Innovation Center. Visited for a lesson. We got to investigate the power of the wind with the help of Curious George and use this renewable energy source to power a vehicle. In this lesson, students will predict how different materials and shapes catch the wind as sails and use the design process to build and test the sails of their own wind-powered vehicles. This websit...
