Wind is created in areas where there are temperature shifts. For this lesson, Grade Two students will investigate areas of their schoolyard where there are 'wind tunnels' and 'wind shadows'. They will then use this information to investigate ways to harness the wind for cooling the school and block it to prevent heat loss from the building.
