Detecting wind direction

Now that the class have moved on to learning about weather in Science, they discovered how farmers, pilots and captains of boats work out the direction of the wind. They use a tool called Wind Socks. They children then made their own windsocks and took them outside to see if they could work out the direction of the wind. Unfortunately, the wind wasn’t very strong but it was just strong enough to work out the direction for about 2 minutes.

 

How does a wind sock show you the direction of the wind?
