Wind Surge: Interactive On-line Mac and PC
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.
Curated OER
Wind
Young scholars complete activities to study wind intensity. In this wind study lesson, students discuss wind speed and direction. Young scholars then build a kite and windsock to help them study wind intensity. Students learn to use a...
Curated OER
Capturing the Wind
Students collect and analyze data about wind speed. They build a Lego wind sail and measure the wind speed with a rotation sensor. They use software to analyze the data.
