Step 1 • Research • Today we are going to learn about wind speed. Click the button below to go to the Wind Speed Links. • Materials - Today you are going to create a predication based off the materials that are given to you to for the invention. Links Materials
Materials For Anemometer • Paper Cups • A skewer • Straws • Scissors • Marker • Tape or Glue
Step 2 • Research • Today’s research will be on Air Pressure. Click on the box below to go to Air Pressure Links. • Answer questions in your notebook to organize your information. Links Questions
Questions • What does an anemometer do? • What is air pressure? • Do you agree now with your hypothesis? • What is wind speed measured in? • Now that you have collected lots of information, click on the clue below. Clue
Clue- The Challenge: Your challenge is to design something that can measure the wind speed. Create an anemometer that features free spinning cups that spin faster as the wind increases….. The clue will be continued in the next couple days.
