Whatever the weather...

5th and 6th class
You are learning about the weather, and in particular the instruments for measuring weather and how this inforrmation can be recorded.
The group challenge issued to you is to design an anemometer from simple materials that will give a basic reading of wind speed.
Here are some websites that will help you understand the elements of weather better.
have fun

hi
th first anomometer was invented by italian architect leon battista alberti in 1450.it was a disk which sat perpendicular to the wind and the wind force was determined by the result angle

WIND
1.The atmosphere moves the earths tempertures from one place to another creating wind.

2.Warm air moves to the poles were it cools down.

3.Cold air moves to the equator were it warms up.

4.When wind blows really hard it can be called microburts,zphyrs,sirocco,sharav, mistral,or monsoons.

hi ms wynne!I found out some information about anemometers.

An Anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed and a common weather station instrument.The term is derived from the greek word anemos meaning wind and is used and is used to describe any airspeed measurment insturement used in aerodynamics.
