In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this outdoor, windy day activity, learners "fly" and race leaves along a line to discover which types of leaves catch the most wind. Which leaves are the best fliers? Why?

In this weather activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will construct their very own anemometer to measure wind speed.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.
