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.

In this weather worksheet, students will match 4 weather terms to their correct definition. Vocabulary words include wind, weather, air mass, and front. Then students will complete 3 short answer questions based on high and low air...

Student study the properties of wind. They make a miniature hot-air balloon and compose diamond-shaped poems about the wind. They explain that as the sun warms air around the earth, the air rises. Colder air then moves in to fill the...

Fifth graders attempt to solve a problem related to an airline accident. The accident appears to be weather related. They analyze and research the effects of wind and turbulence in order to prevent future accidents.

Eighth graders explore ocean currents and wind patterns. They discover the concept of systems to show how change in one component of a body of water, causes change in other components in that system. Students describe positive and...

Pupils examine the relationships that exist between ocean currents, wind and climate. Using those relationships, they discuss how they affect the oceans. They create their own music to represent the sounds of the ocean and share them...
