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

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. 

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 interpret the synoptic code. They construct a thermoscreen with an anemometer. Students identify different types of clouds and understand and read barometric pressure. Students predict weather pattern as they apply to fronts.

In Beacon Valley, katabatic winds regularly knock fit adults to the ground. The lesson compares the actual temperatures to the wind chill after factoring in katabatic winds in Beacon Valley. Scholars learn to calculate wind chill and...

Students engage in this weather predicting instructional activity. They discover instrumentation used in the meteorological science. With this knowledge, they will create their own "low-tech" versions of weather instrumentation such as...

Students 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...

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

Exploring the weather has never been more intriguing! Whether you are looking for a quick glance at the 10-day forecast, trying to figure out if lightning is heading your way, or wondering what the pollen count is, you will find out...

Fourth graders are read a story and answer the comprehension questions about sound and wind. In groups, they make their own wind vane and how to determine the direction of the wind. To end the lesson, they make their own Anemometer to...

Students explore the ways that engineers study and harness the wind. They study the different kinds of winds and how to measure wind direction. In addition, students learn how air pressure creates winds and how engineers build and test...

Students construct a thermoscreen for the experiment. In this earth science instructional activity, students make observations and interpret them using synoptic codes. They predict the weather based on gathered information.

Young scholars study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Young scholars discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect...

Students collect weather data over a thirty day period to gain an increased understanding of the weather patterns in their area. Once the data is collected, students post their finding online using a web tool. Finally, students attempt...

Students explore the concept of renewable energy. In this alternative energy instructional activity, students participate in a play that conveys information regarding wind energy. The script may be performed as a play with props or as a...

Students record observations gathered while at a national wildlife refuge. In this instructional activity on wildlife refuges, students choose an observation spot and record seasonal changes throughout the year.

Fourth graders measure wind speed over a week's time uisng a ping pong and a protractor and graph the results. They convert the number of degrees to miles per hour using a scale. They discuss patterns and relationships.

In this science fair project, use a fan and an anemometer to test various kite designs to see which will fly best in low wind speed. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and...

Nice brief description of this wind speed device and the directions to make your own.

Use real-time data to study factors that affect weather and climate, create weather instruments, and share data with students around the world.

For this lesson students will build and learn how to use three weather. They will use these instruments to collect weather data over a period of two weeks.

With this science fair project measure the effect of wind speed on how quickly an object cools. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed by a section on...

Through 10 lessons and more than 20 hands-on activities, students are introduced to the concept of an environment and the many interactions within it. As they learn about natural and human-made environments, as well as renewable and...
