Team Perspective
1. All agree on a definition of WIND. Write it in
your notebook.
2. With in the team share personal experiences
with wind: kites, paper planes, hurricanes,
sailboats etc.
3. Class share out definitions and most
interesting experiences.

EXPLORE
WHAT CAUSES WIND ?
Convection
Cell activity
a process that
functions because
heated fluids,
due to their lower
density, rise and
cooled fluids fall.

•China has doubled its capacity for energy from wind over
each of the 4 years
•China will pass the USA THIS YEAR as the #! Producer
of wind turbines
•China invested 40% of its stimulus package
into green business
•The USA invested just 12%
