Students explore the ways that engineers study and harness the wind. They study the different kinds of winds and how to measure wind direction. In addition, students learn how air pressure creates winds and how engineers build and test...

Young scholars collect weather data over weeks, graph temperature data and compare the temperature data collected with averaged climate data where they live.

For this engineering worksheet, 9th graders experiment with the design of a windmill blade to generate more electricity by creating a step by step plan, drawing a diagram, recording data from trials, write a conclusion and a comparison...

Students examine how engineers utilize the wind.  In this wind lesson students examine the different kinds of winds and measure wind direction. 

In this weather data worksheet, students use this worksheet to record data about temperature, wind speed, and more. Students complete 18 spaces on the chart.

Students investigate wind and weather by creating a weathervane.  In this environment lesson, students identify the purpose of a weathervane and observe weathervanes in action on their campus.  Students create a weathervane and...

Students create a simple paper parachute. In this parachute design lesson, students examine the effects of the wind and make napkin parachutes.  

Young scholars explore traditional methods of weather observation. In this weather lesson, students interview grown-ups regarding wind. Young scholars learn how winds can help forecast weather.

Students complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. For this weather report lesson, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction for a month. Students...

In this earth science worksheet, students read a poem about the wind and learn why the wind blows. After reading the poem and informative paragraphs that follow it, students answer 2 questions regarding the information they read....

In this temperature worksheet, 3rd graders study and analyze a table containing different temperatures associated with different wind speeds and answer 4 fill in the blank answers and 2 multiple choice questions.

In this earth science worksheet, students check the accuracy of the weather forecasts in their area for a week. Then they complete the chart by recording the forecast for the week's weather and then recording the actual weather for that...

In this literacy worksheet, learners identify and write the various months of the year as found in Japan. They compare those in Japan to those months in America. There are four pictures and four months to interpret.

Pupils analyze meteorological data and arrive at conclusions using animations of dewpoint temperatures and winds. They view an animation and determine the preferred location(s), if any, for the advection of moisture into the state....

Young scholars discuss the wind and how it feels. Using talcum powder and a lamp, students participate in an activity where they observe spirals in the air. They discover the causes of wind and how hot air rises and cold air sinks.

Young scholars investigate how to measure the speed of wind. They do this by building their own anemometers. Students calculate the air speeds while using their own projects and make observations. They conduct a mathematical discussion...

Students participate in hands-on acticities to understand how native plants and animals arrived on Hawaii from long distances without the assistance of man. They then identify what characterizes a plant or animal as native vs. non-native.

Students examine the influence of the end wall. They find a basin size and wind speed such that a given wall height is overtopped. Then, increase the wall elevation until overtopping stops. Students explain the difference in results.

Students predict and hypothesize the reasons for wind movement. After viewing a video, they describe the effects of a high and low pressure system and what makes the wind blow. In groups, they construct instruments that measure air...

Students complete an experiment in which they demonstrate that air exerts a force. In groups, they create their own siphon and define air pressure. They estimate the time it might take to siphon various amounts of water. They collect,...

Students design a chart to use to record the weather for five days. They then build an anemometer to record wind speed and discover why they are used for this purpose.

Learners explore the ways in which wind is formed and how it affects our weather.

Students conduct an experiment to show that air is all around us and that wind is the movement of air. They construct a weather vane to determine which direction the wind is blowing.

Young scholars create an anemometer, an instrument that measures wind speed.
