| Students created their own anemometers with help from the 8th Grade. |
 |
| We used paper cups, push pins and sharpened pencils with an eraser to make the anemometers. |
 |
| An anemometer is an instrument used to measure wind speed and direction. It is usually made of several small cups attached to a vertical shaft. As the wind blows, the cups rotate, making the rod spin. |
 |
| Anemometers are important tools for meteorologists who study weather patterns. |
 |
| Wind will catch the cups and rotate them, the rotations are counted and wind speed is calculated. |
