Online physics educational game. Fun physics quiz.
This physics class game include the following wind powers:
Beaufort Force 0 - Calm: less than 1 mph (0 m/s) Smoke rises vertically
Beaufort Force 1 - Light Air: 1 - 3 mph 0.5-1.5 m/s Smoke drifts with air, weather vanes inactive
Beaufort Force 2 - Light Breeze: 4 - 7 mph 2-3 m/s Weather vanes active, wind felt on face, leaves rustle
Beaufort Force 3 - Gentle Breeze: 8 - 12 mph 3.5-5 m/s Leaves & small twigs move, light flags extend
Beaufort Force 4 - Moderate Breeze: 13 - 18 mph 5.5-8 m/s Small branches sway, dust & loose paper blows about
Beaufort Force 5 - Fresh Breeze: 19 - 24 mph 8.5-10.5 m/s Small trees sway, waves break on inland waters
Beaufort Force 6 - Strong Breeze: 25 - 31 mph 11-13.5 m/s Large branches sway, umbrellas difficult to use
Beaufort Force 7 - Moderate Gale: 32 - 38 mph 14-16.5 m/s Whole trees sway, difficult to walk against wind
Beaufort Force 8 - Fresh Gale: 39 - 46 mph 17-20 m/s Twigs broken off trees, walking against wind very difficult
Beaufort Force 9 - Strong Gale: 47 - 54 mph 20.5-23.5 m/s Slight damage to buildings, shingles blown off roof
Beaufort Force 10 -- Whole Gale: 55 - 63 mph 24-27.5 m/s Trees uprooted, considerable damage to buildings
Beaufort Force 11 -- Storm: 64 - 73 mph 28-31.5 m/s Widespread damage, very rare occurrence
Beaufort Force 12 -- Hurricane: over 73 mph over 32 m/s Violent destruction
There are 13 wind power pictures of tree and sea at the top of the screen. In the middle, there is the Modern scale of forces acording to Beaufort. Drag and drop the pictures in the correct wind speed on the scale. Place all the winds for less than 14 tries for a good school mark.

Difficulty: Easy.
Class subject: Beaufort scale.
The Beaufort scale is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale.
The Beaufort scale is not an exact nor an objective scale; it was based on visual and subjective observation of a ship and of the sea. The corresponding integral wind speeds were determined later, but the values in different units were never made equivalent.
The initial scale of thirteen classes (zero to twelve) did not reference wind speed numbers but related qualitative wind conditions to effects on the sails of a frigate, then the main ship of the Royal Navy, from "just sufficient to give steerage" to "that which no canvas sails could withstand".
