Hoist the mainsail!Captain Seasalt and the ABC Piratessail their ship using the power of the wind.
Heres how it’s possible for you to make your own pirate ship that works the same way.
Cork floats really well, so thats what well use to make the main part of the ship.
Lay one of the cork rows flat on the table.
This popsicle stick will be your mast.
Then glue on the last two cork rows, one on each side.
Fill the bathtub with water and float your pirate ship in it.
Try blowing on it.
Now,print out the sail templateon a piece of paper and cut it out.
Dont forget the two slits!
Alternatively, cut a rectangle shape out of a sheet of fun foam 5 tall by 7 wide.
If you like decorate the sail by drawing on it with permanent markers.
Be careful not to get your sail wet.
Now, put your ship on the water and try blowing on it again.
What happens this time?
People also build wind turbines, which use the wind to produce electricity.
And people build windmills, which use the wind to grind grain into flour, or to pump water.
Wind can also be used to fly kites!
Its not just people who use the power of the wind.
Many plants, like dandelions, depend on the wind to spread their seeds around.
