Windsocks allow one to show the wind direction in a visual way. They are common in several structures such as: airports, bridges and industries, among other places. These cone-shaped sleeves are essential especially at airports, as they provide important indications for aircraft manoeuvring.
This activity comes under the program #cienciavivaathome. From the kitchen to the bathroom, even walking through the garage, no room was left out: after all, science is everywhere!
