GLOBE Weather/UCAR
This video on the Coriolis effect is a supplemental teacher resource for Lesson 15 of the GLOBE Weather Curriculum (www.globeweathercurriculum.org). In this lesson, students investigate the question “When air and storms move, why do they curve? Students gather evidence from an article that explains the Coriolis effect and how Earth’s rotation causes air to curve. Using a balloon and a marker, they create a simple model to observe the Coriolis effect.
