Find the answers to questions about concert bands, such as how they differ from orchestras and marching bands, what the historical background is, and what kinds of music they perform. You can also listen to a stream of concert band...

A number of electrical, nuclear, solar, and wind science projects and energy activities are described on this page, with links to each activity.

This textbook chapter looks at the role of temperature in sustaining life on Earth and on weather and climate. It discusses the Earth's movements and the seasons, the circulation of the oceans, wind and weather, and the water cycle....

A wonderfully detailed introduction to the topic of wind erosion and landforms. Contains many illustrations and maps which show the concepts that are presented in the text.

A tutorial that describes the five factors that determine the weather in a particular place and time. The factors discussed in this tutorial are air temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, and precipitation. A PDF file of the tutorial...

Discusses forms of renewable energy that rely on the sun. For example, wind is created when solar energy heats the air, and biomass is solar energy that has been stored in plants.

Wind is created in areas where there are temperature shifts. For this lesson, Grade Two students will investigate areas of their schoolyard where there are 'wind tunnels' and 'wind shadows'. They will then use this information to...
