An Introduction to Wind Chill

Without wind, the weather man wouldn't have much to talk about! Blow away your junior meteorologists with a creative demonstration of how wind works. The activity uses an empty soda bottle and compressible Styrofoam peanuts to illustrate...

The U.S. produced enough wind energy in 2015 to power all of the homes in Alaska, California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and...

Heating and spinning of our planet are what generate wind. A very large tank is used to model the phenomenon of convection, which is explained by Bill, but never specifically mentioned. If you show this mini movie to your meteorology...

When you tell people you know why the wind blows, it won't be a bunch of hot air. In the video from PBS Digital Studios, viewers learn how wind is a consequence of differences in air pressure. Along the way, the video covers the Coriolis...

What do water and wind do to open fields? An interesting video lesson demonstrates how ground cover protects the loss of soil from rain and wind. It shows four soil samples with varying degrees of ground cover and how people collect the...

What causes wind? How does wind affect our weather? This website is neatly organized into topics about pressure, gradient force, Coriolis force, geostrophic wind, gradient wind, friction, boundary layer wind, and sea and land breezes....

Provided by the National Weather Service, a chart showing current temperature, wind (mph) and the air temperature with the wind chill. Shows the calculation for wind chill at the bottom of the chart and provides a wind chill calculator.

Scholars build a weather station equipped with a wind vane, rain gauge, and barometer. Following an informative page about the weather, learners follow steps to build their pieces then turn into meteorologists to chart the weather they...

Scientists know wind is a renewable resource, but is it an efficient one? Scholars adjust the propeller diameter on a wind turbine, the wind speed, and the conversion efficiency within range to learn about the efficiency of these...

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...
