Wind and Weather

Today DJ is not feeling well, and will be reading the remaining 6 chapters of Little House on the Prairie with summaries, and will make up his other work, in the next few days. I will be posting the lesson plans as usual, and hopefully he will feel better tomorrow. Next week is our last full week of lessons, before the Christmas break. Today for Science the lesson plan includes wind. I have included a few videos below for how wind is made, and how we can use wind power for energy. I hope you can use them in your lessons. We are also Tivoing the new Animal Planet series, on dinosaurs, it is very cool. If you get Animal Planet check for it.
