It has been windy for a few days now so my challenge for you is to map the wind in your garden.
Watch my video to see how.

What you will need:
A map of you garden or school grounds – See my video on how to make one. A clipboard
A pen

How to do it:
Look around your garden or school grounds and see if you can spot anything that has been blow in by the wind. This could be a strange leaf, twig or piece of rubbish.
Then have a look around and see if you can identify where the item has been blown from.
Using you map draw an arrow from where the item came from to where it stopped.
Then repeat with other objects in your garden.
When you have finished look at your map and see if you can see any pattern in the direction of the wind.
Compare it to the direction on the weather forecast for your area.

Is the wind in your garden the same as the weather forecast? Or is your house changing the winds direction?

Do you have your own microclimate in your garden?

I would love to see your wind maps so please Tweet photos #Naturedays @DawnNaturedays or post on the Nature Days facebook page.
