How Science Works: Chasing the Wind
In this video, produced by Teachers TV, Dr Maggie Aderin leads a team launching an instrument into orbit to read atmospheric wind patterns, in order to help assess the impact of climate change. Measuring the Earth's wind patterns with this project will help to form a more complete picture about climate change.
Dr. Aderin describes how she became an astronomer, recent developments in telescopes and astronomy and how data is shared within the scientific community.
The video helps to illustrate careers in science and aspects of how science works.
A connected programme, Using Chasing the Wind, shows how this video has been used in a lesson about climate change and science careers.
