About This Lesson
In this segment, Brian, Samantha and Cierra experiment with the speed, direction and height of wind. Using their hand-made anemometers and wind indicators, they see what happens to wind speed and direction at different heights and around obstacles. A Matt Gohl animation then shows us what happens to wind at different heights outdoors: Surface level wind, the jet stream high in the sky, and everything in between!
