As the World Turns: The Coriolis Effect: Global Wind Patterns, Earth's Rotation
Students use pencil and paper to explore the Coriolis effect and how the Earth's rotation causes global wind patterns.
Curated OER
El Nino
Explore the properties of water and the affects of El Nino. Middle schoolers will learn about the devastation an El Nino can cause as well as the definition of El Nino. Additionally, they will discover the cause of El Nino along with the...
Curated OER
World Wide Winds
Students recognize that global winds move in specific directions in specific latitudes and describe that in a written form. They relate the motion of the wind belts to historical navigation.
