Wind Power...

For Theme Thursday I'm sharing a few pictures from an exhibit at the Children's Museum I take my grandchildren to... The tubes have air moving through them that propels any light weight item put in the tube as well as the pinwheels...It all happens too fast to get a picture!



First you put a scarf or light ball in the tube and let the flap close...



...The scarf goes flying through the tubes via air pressure...


...and shoots out the top...can you see the scarf in the air?

My grandkids love going to COSI(Center of Science and Industry) in Columbus, OH, so much that we bought a membership. Your grandson looks like he's having a great time.
