Wind is Energy (Primary)

Description

Grades K-2

Students begin to develop an understanding of how wind is formed and used as an energy source through hands-on activities and teacher-supported reading. Students will learn to measure wind speed and direction, and investigate how wind can do work. The kit comes with a Teacher Guide, a Student Guide, and the materials necessary to conduct the activities, including two KidWind™ Weightlifter Turbines.

Student and Teacher guides are also available in PDF format as a FREE download.
