    I'm fond of this project, because it can be done by people living in urban settings. This simple tool is a wonderful way to observe and learn about wind speed.

    Anemometer - Measure Wind Speed

    Materials:

    · 4 small paper cups - like bathroom cups
    · 4 plastic drinking straws
    · tape
    · scissors
    · straight pin or small nail
    · pencil with a new eraser
    · stapler
    · notebook
    · (optional) webcam, camcorder

    Procedure:

    1. Make a cross from the straws and tape them at the center

    2. Staple the top side of one cup to each straw

    3. Make sure the cups all face the same direction

    4. Push the pin through the straw intersection into the pencil eraser

    5. The pencil is your axis

    6. Mark one cup, so you have a measuring point

    7. Test by blowing or using a fan to ensure this spins

    8. Mount your anemometer in a place where it has access to wind from all directions.

    Note:

    You may want to compare your model to a commercial anemometer if you have access to one.

    As a general rule, 10 turns per minute means the wind speed is about one mile per hour.

    Use your notebook to make a chart - plan to check this at the same time or times daily and record the time interval - one minute, etc. and the number of spins during that time.

    What happens to your anemometer when it's calm? When it's windy? What else do you notice about the weather?
