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

Students build an anemometer and use it to explore and calculate wind speed.

Nice brief description of this wind speed device and the directions to make your own.

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

Students create their own anemometers which are instruments for measuring wind speed. They see how an anemometer measures wind speed by taking measurements at various school locations. They also learn about different types of...

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.

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...

Learners explore the design of anemometers and how they are used in measuring the speed of wind. Working in teams of "engineers", they will design, build, and evaluate the effectiveness of their own anemometers, presenting their findings...

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.

Explains what an anemometer is used for and the different models that have been developed since it was first invented.

Learn about wind and create an anemometer.

Students are guided in how to build their own weather station that will measure temperature, humidity, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, and wind direction and speed.
