Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

Learn about friction and kinetic energy with this cool spinning toy.

In this outdoor mapping activity, learners explore where plants grow and map plant-distribution patterns.

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

In this activity, learners investigate wind by comparing the force of wind in different locations. Learners build wind-o-meters out of wooden sticks and strips of paper.

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 activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.
