Wind


Measuring weather.

Definitions:


  1.  Anemometer:
  2. Beaufort wind scale:

Anemometer

MATERIALS

  1. Plastic lid x4.
  2. Tape.
  3. Scheuer.
  4. Pencil.
  5. Pin.

STEPS

  1.  Tape to plastic lids onto a Scheuer.
  2.   Do the same as number 1.
  3.   Tape the Scheuer's together like a cross.
  4.   Put a pin through the middle of the tape in the middle.
  5.   Stick the pin through the pencil eraser.
Groups size: 5 
Roles:
  • Timekeeper
  • Counter
  • Recorder
  • Anemometer Manager
  • Wind Manager
  1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
  2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
  3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

  • Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
  • You will need to time them and count the number of spins.


Place name on school grounds                                    Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.Field1
2.Old J block site0
3.Grass hill quad0
4.Tennis Court gate0

CONCLUSION:

The tennis court gate had 0 spins, the field had 1 spin and the old j block site and grass hill quad had 0 amounts of spins I don't  think any of these places were gonna get any spins apart from the field because it wasn't as windy and as wide as the field. When we got to those places we had to time 15 sec then once we get to 0sec we move on to the next location, we asked what other people got they said they got 0 spins for most of theirs so not everyone had the same amount of spins.
