Students will be able to identify wind deformation of trees and, by using a chart, estimate the average annual wind speed for the area in which the tree was grown.
The students will learn to recognize shrub deformation by wind
The students should be able to locate the crown and base of the shrub
The students will be able to measure the displacement of the crown and use a constant to estimate average annual wind speed from the amount of displacement.
Wind Raft
Students will demonstrate what they have learned about wind by using that information to write a RAFT.
What is Wind Energy
The student will be able to understand and simulate wind formation.
Wind Power (Can we get Permission)
Following the activity the students will have a real life experience of what the controversies are to erect wind turbine and have the some idea of the work involved in getting permission to erect one, this will be demonstrated by them completing the activity.
