Clouds Kids already know that certain clouds are associated with specific kinds of weather. But they probably do not know that clouds play a huge role in determining the Earth’s climate. Even young children can and should learn to identify clouds. It’s a skill that will stay with them the rest of their lives. https://mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov/science_projects/clouds-for-kids/
Power of Wind The Power of Wind Kits have all the materials and information you need to teach this exciting experiment to a group of up to 20 4-H members. Your students will spend hours designing and resigning their wind generators trying to increase their energy output. The POW kit contains KID Power of Wind kits, these kits are easy to assemble and redesign, all you need to do is make the blades, Voltmeters, and fans if needed. This lesson focuses on the Engineering Design process. http://4h.okstate.edu/projects/science-and-technology/science-kits-1/power-of-wind
