Exploring Wind Through Poetry and Science: A Lesson on Air's Properties

In this engaging lesson from Mary Ruebusch McCurdy School, students will analyze Christina Rossetti's poem "Who Has Seen the Wind?" to connect literary themes with scientific concepts surrounding air as matter. The class will discuss the invisibility and movement of wind while investigating its properties, such as weight and volume. By designing a practical experiment using balloons, learners will solidify their understanding of air as a gas and its physical properties. This interdisciplinary approach encourages creativity and critical thinking.

  10. With a partner design a simple experiment to prove that air is matter. Click for example

  11. Example:1.Weigh an empty balloon.2.Blow it up.3.Weigh it again. Click for explanation. The size of the balloon proves that air takes up space. The full balloon should weigh more than the empty balloon.

  12. Read the poem again.What things does the poet observe about wind in the poem? Click for examples Wind is invisible. Wind moves. The end
