In this activity, students will create a pinwheel. They will use this pinwheel to make connections between the pinwheel and wind turbines to learn how wind energy works. 

Using simple materials, this project has kids design and build their own wind powered vehicle. It's a fun project that will have kids competing against each other and working to impro…

This project gives kids a list of materials to use to build a boat that can travel across the water using only air. See if you can help them make their craft even faster!

This is a great project that demonstrates air movement. Convection currents can cause severe storms; your students can simulate convection currents in this simple experiment.  

Kids will examine the quality of the air they breath with this simple project! Using a filter, they can see what particles they breathe in. 

This project is ideal for childrean 3rd-5th grade. This activity will show what's in the air and all around you. Using everyday materials like petroleum jelly and index cards, they ca…

Your students won’t believe how long and far these paper gliders can fly!  Show them this video where they will learn how to make their own, how it works, and how to get the best flig…

This simple project show kids the power the sun can have and how we can use it as energy.

This project wtill explore and teach kids Sir Isaac Newton's principle: for every action there is an equal and opposite reation. This project uses items that students canfind in their…

Quiz your students on their wind energy knowledge! This quiz will not only test how much they know about wind energy, but also teach them why their answers are correct or incorrect.

This crossword puzzle will challenge kids to remember what they have learned about renewable energy.

This is a simple activity where kids rearrange small pictures to make one large big picture. Once they solve the puzzles, they can see the different sources of energy. 

Introduce your students to this fun and educational game where they can switch the planet to renewable energy by placing wind turbines in the ocean. Make sure they watch out for the …

In this project, students will build simple devices that collect things blowing in the wind.  After hanging them outside for a few hours on a windy day, kids can then examine what the…

This simple activity allows kids to experience how wind can cause evaporation on their skin, thus cooling them down.

Kids will love this fun and slightly messy activity that will teach them how heating and cooling affects air pressure.

Air pressure plays an important role in wind and wind speed.  Often times we predict how fast the wind blows by knowing the barometric pressure.  In this activity, students can measur…

Jet stream is the way wind moves across the planet.  This website teaches students about the jet stream and then quizzes them on what they learned.  They can even take a look at what …
