I heard that the Geography lesson in Secondary school is covering the Coriolis Effect.
So what is the reason for the Coriolis effect in Geography?
The reason is that the earth rotation sets up an apparent force (called the Coriolis force)
The winds are pulling to the right in the Northern Hemisphere
The winds are pulling to the left in the Southern Hemisphere

This simulator helps you visualize the Coriolis effect in Geography.
Another good hands-on idea is to get one student to rotate real paper with the globe the North Pole showing to turn the paper anti-clockwise, another student to plot using a pen a straight line across from equator to North pole, the pen mark will actually be bent due to the rotating paper.
Try this! It is surprisingly good for students and they will have a better chance of getting what the Coriolis Effect is.
Enjoy!
I have given this resource to Geography folks, hope to get ideas about how to make it better!
