For our second lesson our students will learn how to use an anemometer and measure the speed of wind. An anemometer is a device that measures the speed of wind and can easily be made by the students, all you need is a regular pencil with an eraser, 4 drinking straws, 4 dixie cups, a highlighter and a push pin to make one. An anemometer is pictured here so you can see one. Once it is assembled one of the dixie cups should have it's bottom colored so you can keep track of how many times the cups spin around.
Once students complete their chart the class will head inside and fill out the ABCs of weather as an introduction to see what weather terms they know. We will fill this out as a class.
