 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">* **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Place in front of the students 3 different boxes containing things to do with wind, rain and temperature. Invite the students to guess what might be inside each box.
 * As a class, look inside each box and explain what each box represents.
 * On the interactive whiteboard, open up the web quest. Explain to students that this is a project we will be doing over the next few weeks.
 * Open the ‘Start Here’ page and read the email as a class. Then open the ‘What’s your Job’ page and read through.
 * The students will then get into their science groups and move to their computers.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Lesson Steps **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> (Lesson content, structure & strategies) **Key Questions & Assessment**:


 * The students will then open up the Here We Go page and click on the ‘Wind’ page.


 * The students will undertake the appropriate tasks and complete their worksheets.


 * The students then come together as a group and share the information that they have just learnt to their other team members.


 * The students then open the Wind Vane link and as a group make their own wind vane.


 * As a class, in their groups, go outside and measure the direction of the wind using their wind vanes.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Students come back to the mat and recall what happened in the experiment? Teacher asks how we measure the wind? What direction it was coming from? What we might wear when it is windy? What can we do when it is windy? Did anything in the experiment go wrong? || **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Resources: ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 6pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 6pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">
