Back   Subject: Other Technologies   Title Source Type of Material #1 4-Wheelin' Physics Fun  University of Nebraska  4-H Individual Project Curriculum, 4-H Curriculum for Groups  Subject: Other Technologies Description Start your engines! It's time to start four-wheeling with physics! This project allows 4-Hers to learn about physics through hands-on experiments. Youth will practice measurements and important math skills. Along the way they must weave through physical concepts such as elasticity, force, and velocity - all the while having fun driving a remote-controlled truck!  #2 Measuring Wind Speed: GRAB and GO  National 4-H Council  4-H Individual Project Curriculum  Subject: Other Technologies Description You can observe wind speed affecting flags and trees and other objects around you, and you know that when the wind is blowing hard, tree branches move more and flags extend. In the early 1800’s Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort developed a scale for observing sails on ships to estimate wind speed. Over the next fifty years the scale was expanded to include observing sea and land conditions.
