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

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

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

Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

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 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.
