Global Wind Belts  Project 

Focus: Students will take information from the text and create a book about the global wind belts.

Objectives:  Students will...
1.) Define Local and Global Winds using context clues.
2.) Distinguish between global and local winds. 
3.) Explain how scientist measure wind. 

Focus of the lesson:  Students will learn about how wind if formed from the following video. Students will then identify the tools used to measure wind. Students will then break into groups of 5 to 6 students to create a book about the global wind belts. 

Evidence of Learning: Students will begin collecting information on global wind belts.  Students will identify the global wind belts: doldrums, horse latitudes , trade winds, jet streams, prevailing westerlies and polareasterlies.   Students will collect information about the types of winds that make up these belts, describe the belt and explain the direction it flows.
