Lesson Three – Wind Speed

This computing teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate and record how to use electronic devices to measure wind speed in different locations around the school.

The class can present and analyse the collected data about wind speed by using a block graph to organise the measured information about the weather.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to investigate and record how to use electronic devices to measure wind speed in different locations around the school

Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and explain how to interpret collected data about the weather, a worksheet to record wind speed at different locations around the school using an electronic sensor and a template to present collected data for wind speed recorded in different locations around the school using a block graph.

The interactive presentation gets the children to investigate how to use electronic devices to measure wind speed in different locations around the school.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to investigate how to use different forms of technological sensors to record, monitor and present weather information and data. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
