The 20th lesson in a 21-part series connects the wind data and expectations of a turbine to whether such devices should be built in your area. Scholars begin with estimating the wind potential at school by using long-term climate...

Engage creative minds with an exciting activity about the power of wind. Investigators participate in class discussions while viewing images and animations of air and wind. Scholars test the relationship between wind speed and an...

How is wind produced and is it a good source for energy production? Get some air moving in your class. Learners take a pre-test, watch a demonstration of how electricity can be generated by wind energy, test different turbine factors for...

Young scholars build an anemometer and measure wind speed. In this wind speed instructional activity, students build an anemometer using the student instruction sheet. Young scholars visit the Alaska windspeed website and look up the...

Learners determine what an anemometer is and how it measures wind speed. They decide on a place to put a wind turbine by using an anemometer. They examine the role that engineers play when using wind speed to determine a place for wind...

Learners conduct an experiment. In this wind measurement instructional activity, students learn about instruments that measure the wind and then make a weather vane. Learners record wind speed over a few days.

Students measure the direction of the wind. In this Science lesson, students make their own wind vane. Students discuss the importance of wind direction and speed.

Learners make a wind vane, anemometer, wind spiral, and wind streamer to calculate wind movement. In this wind lesson plan, students test each of their wind instruments, and graph the results of the wind speed in different locations.

Fourth graders develop an understanding of how engineers use wind to generate electricity. They will build a model anemometer to better understand and measure wind speed. They discover that engineers design wind turbines that generate...

Students analyze a variety of curves that describe the power extracted from the wind by a variety of commercially produced wind turbines. They utilize site specific topographic maps and political boundary data to evaluate and make...

Students investigate the characteristics of wind. In this weather lesson, students use poetry and van Gogh's paintings to discuss the movement of wind. Students are introduced to the Beaufort Scale and use the tool to measure the wind...

Students investigate wind speed. In this wind instrument lesson, students build an anemometer to measure wind speed and discuss the importance of wind speed knowledge in various professions. 

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

Young scholars study the weather over time in this instructional activity. In this weather instructional activity, students record weather information from the newspaper over a month's time. They record the wind speed and direction, the...

Students complete activities to study wind intensity. In this wind study lesson plan, students discuss wind speed and direction. Students then build a kite and windsock to help them study wind intensity. Students learn to use a wind...

Students 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 after...

Students build windmills and weather vanes. In this lesson on air, students build wind vanes and windmills to demonstrate that air moves. Students determine the direction of air movement and measure the speed at which it is moving.

Bring the sun to your class! Young scholars analyze actual solar wind data in the second lesson of a five-part series. Their analysis includes speed, temperature, and density data.

My forecast is that you'll want to use the resource. Pupils design and create a weather bot as part of a project-based unit. These bots should be able to measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and...

Students create an anemometer, an instrument that measures wind speed.

Students discover how to capture the speed of wind. In this science activity instructional activity, students gather materials and follow procedures to create an anemometer to measure wind speed.

Fourth graders measure wind speed, air pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind direction. They compare their observations with those of actual weather forecasts.

Students investigate the relationship between the sun and wind.  In this reading comprehension lesson, students read the book The Contest Between the Sun and the Wind, and observe the effect of the Sun and wind on our planet....

Students study operations with real numbers using mental computation or paper-and-pencil calculations. They judge the reasonableness of numerical computations and their results. They set up and solve proportions for direct and inverse...
