Older students can tackle the Tetrahedral Kite, which can be scaled for a large or small format creation.
Students will learn how latitude affects weather patterns.
Those whiners who constantly mewl “why do I need to learn this?” can be in charge of this lesson – let them brainstorm ways to use the scientific method in testing consumer products. The following are just samples; have your kids come up with other products to test, and devise ways to test them.
