Which materials can withstand strong winds?
Lesson outcome
In this lesson, we will be investigating which materials can be blown down by creating our own wind using a hairdryer. We will be experimenting with different types of materials which have different weights. We will be creating our structures to experiment with in the next lesson, 'Will the wall I've built withstand strong winds?'. You will need playdough, twigs or sticks, hay or straw, sugar cubes, lego or plastic bricks and lastly glue or sticky tape. If you do not have these things, you can watch me model this experiment.
