Describes the purpose of an anemometer and the five main types.

Make your own anemometer like meteorologists use to measure the speed of wind. Includes full list of materials, procedures, and scientific explanation of what makes wind.

In this science fair project, use a fan and an anemometer to test various kite designs to see which will fly best in low wind speed. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and...

Simple guidelines for building several weather-related tools: anemometer, wind vane, barometer, rain gauge, snow gauge, and thermometer. After building your tools, follow experiment steps and record your findings on the Scholastic...

Learn about wind and create an anemometer.

This photo shows an anemometer, a weather measurement device used to gauge the strength of the wind.

This site shows how to make weather tools for your own weather station. You can learn how to make a barometer, rain gauge, anemometer, wind scale tool, wind streamer, and wind chime.

In this activity, students develop an understanding of how engineers use wind to generate electricity. They will build a model anemometer to better understand and measure wind speed.

A long-term project lesson plan where students observe seasonal changes by recording observations and data of the weather conditions. Students will understand how to use a light meter, thermometer, anemometer, and rain gauge with this...

Through nine lessons, students are introduced to a range of energy types--electrical, light, sound and thermal-as well as the renewable energy sources of wind, hydro (water) and solar power. Subjects range from understanding that the...

Through 10 lessons and more than 20 hands-on activities, students are introduced to the concept of an environment and the many interactions within it. As they learn about natural and human-made environments, as well as renewable and...

Build six different instruments to collect meteorological data for the weather in your area.

With this science fair project measure the effect of wind speed on how quickly an object cools. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed by a section on...

After studying wind energy, student teams design and test a windmill that has to meet specific criteria. Afterwards, they evaluate the success of their design and how they could improve it.

Use real-time data to study factors that affect weather and climate, create weather instruments, and share data with students around the world.

Students use the engineering design process to build a working windmill out of everyday materials. Lesson explores the technology behind wind energy being used to generate energy in businesses and homes worldwide.

For this lesson students will build and learn how to use three weather. They will use these instruments to collect weather data over a period of two weeks.

Understand weather concepts.

Learn all about the basic meteorological instruments.

Fourth graders measure wind speed over the course of a week and graph the results.

From anemometers to weather satellites this resource identifies several tools used in measuring or forecasting the weather.

Learn all about wind, what it is, words used to describe wind, the different types, the coriolis effect, different types of breezes, and how wind is measured.

Find out about wind and jet streams and the tools that measure them.

Information on what weather is to begin with, then progresses to how scientists can predict the weather. Common ways to predict weather are also included such as use of a barometer and rain gauge.
