• In this video NASA explains the importance of wind and how it impacts things like the weather, seafood, cargo ships, and offshore oil rigs. 
• NASA explains how they measure wind from space using radio signals and how they use that information to help predict hurricanes and tropical storms. The data they collect is also used to develop weather and climate models. 

Positives

• This video is short and well explained. The animations used in the video add to overall comprehension.
• In this video NASA does a good job of explaining how wind impacts many aspects of life on Earth and why it's so important to study.
  

Additional Prerequisites

• There may be an ad before the video. 
• Students should be familiar with radio waves.
• Students should know the definition of the words "phenomena," "El Niño," and "headwinds."
  

Differentiation

• This would be a great video to show in a physics or science class when learning about wavelengths and their uses.
• A science class could use this video when learning about weather phenomena like El Niño.
