Wind Teacher Resources

Eighth graders measure temperature, wind speed and pressure using Skymaster SM-28. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders collect data and record observations taken from outdoors. They explain why numerical values are different in...

Students lexplore environmental trends in the troposphere- temperature, dew point, pressure and wind speed- by checking their hypotheses against data collected by weather balloons.

Pupils develop an understanding of related weather processes such as wind, cloud cover, and temperature using STEDII data and instrumentation. In addition, they integrate mathematical calculations to produce a forecast map.

Young scholars explore the Shoemaker's dance. They review the steps needed for the dance; winding the thread, breaking the thread, and driving the pegs. They practice performing the dance.

Students expand upon previous lessons with sled kites by varying the dimensions or materials while building a news sled kite while working in a team. They fly their original kites and the new ones under similar conditions to determine...

Students identify and analyze the concept of density using the formula, density equals mass divided by volume. They review the differences in salinity levels of the ocean and note that the changes in density are caused by wind and...

Students recognize that hurricanes are tropical storms that have a sustained wind speed greater than 74 miles per hour. In this science lesson, students plot data they observe on the National Hurricane Center Website in order to track...

In this earth science worksheet, students use the clues to determine each of the stormy words in the puzzle. There are nine clues listed on the sheet.

Students make observations about the wind and develop predictions to test with kites. The lesson's Language Arts component invloves communication of concepts with peers. On their kite flying day, students discuss how the wind and air...

Pupils investigate the temperature and wind data locally, nationally, and internationally and compare these conditions to those on Mars. Conclusions are drawn about the differences of these conditions and the causes for the variance...

Students track wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, air temperature, and precipitation for a month using a newspaper. They chart the data over a months time.

Pupils conduct research on temperature, wind speed and weather conditions from a variety of areas. They organize their findings on worksheets and spreadsheets and discuss various examples of databases.

Students compare the three types of contrails that are produced by aircraft exhaust. They examine pictures of contrails on the internet to classify each as short lived, persistent or persistent spreading. They then sketch examples in...

Students discover the functions of instruments used to help predict the weather. In groups, they use the Beaufort Scale to calculate the wind speed and a chart to determine cloud cover. They complete a worksheet to end the lesson.

Students explore the "New World". They collect geographic information related to the ocean, latitude and stars, longitude and time, wind patterns, and the weather. They analyze the geographic data and make decisions to plot their...

In this atmosphere worksheet, students research the weather patterns of Australia online and fill out the information on this page regarding rainfall, temperature, wind, clouds and other weather patterns.

In this universe research worksheet, students read the sentence and then use a library or the Internet to find the answer and write it on the blue line. Students then write a short report about this topic: a violent whirlwind in which...

In this making words worksheet, students use the letters in the word hurricane to make as many words as possible. They see the letters and 20 blank lines on a page that is decorated with sailboats blowing in the wind.

In this local weather worksheet, students research their local weather and answer six questions about the temperature, average rainfall, wind velocity, high and low temperature predictions, and lowest temperature for the country.

Third graders make parachutes to learn about gravity and the science process. For this gravity lesson, 3rd graders create parachutes and observe their flight in air. Students discuss wind and gravity for the activity.

In this science worksheet, students draw pictures of the weather described in 5 simple sentences. They draw illustrations of sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy and snowy weather.

In this literacy learning exercise, students 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.

In this weather worksheet, students draw 5 different weather scenarios in the 5 boxes with houses provided for them for illustration.

Third graders read poems by Paul Lawrence dunbar desling with toys and examine how they have changed. They make their own toys, using socks for puppets and drums from boxes.
