This game is a fun and intuitive way for students to explore the science behind wind and air masses.
This game is very easy to use for a wide range of students, from elementary through high school grade levels.
Prerequisites
It is best if each student has their own computer or tablet.
Before the game begins, there is a short comic that students can click through or skip using the button in the bottom right corner.
A tutorial is available at the top of the game selection screen which explains the rules and setup of the game.
Differentiation & Implementation
Some students may need assistance reading the speech bubbles at the bottom of the screen during the tutorial or figuring out how to access the "hints," which can be adjusted by clicking on the eye button.
Science classes can use this game to solidify students' understanding of how wind and extreme weather phenomena like tornadoes are formed.
Geography classes can use the digital map in the game to discuss map features used in weather maps, including the compass and symbols for air masses.
This resource can be used in combination with this game about the water cycle or this real-time map that visualizes wind speed and direction globally.
