How to Make a Wind Vane

Wind vanes are also referred to as weather vanes, since when the wind changes directions, it often brings a change in weather. They are often attached to the tops of buildings, where the wind isn't interrupted by objects lower to the ground. You can make a simple weather vane as a science project or to have fun decorating it, or cut out a more permanent design out of wood and mount it on a fence post or rooftop.
