Help the budding meteorologists in your classroom learn how to measure wind speed by building their own anemometers (wind speed meters) with paper cups and straws. Then do a simple experiment in which students change the "wind" speed using a fan and measure how fast their anemometer spins.

Wind is a part of our everyday weather. Its strength can range from a soft breeze to a violent storm. In this lesson, students learn how to measure wind speed by building anemometers (wind speed meters) from paper cups and straws and experimenting with them.
Understand what an anemometer is and what it measures.Determine the relationship between wind speed and how fast an anemometer rotates.Represent data in a bar graph.Explain how meteorologists use tools to gather weather data.For the class: 1. Variable-speed fan 2. Tape 3. Stopwatch Per group: 1. Single-hole punch (groups can share if needed) 2. 3 oz paper cups (5) 3. Straws (2) 4. Pushpin 5. Sharpened pencil with eraser 6. Marker 7. Student worksheet (one per student)
When the wind blows, the turbines rotate, turning the wind into energy for communities to use. But in order for the wind turbine to produce the greatest amount of energy efficiently, a wind turbine service technician must inspect, troubleshoot, repair, and ensure that the wind turbine is in good working order.
