HOW CAN THE SPEED OF WIND BE MEASURED?

By: Lili & Julia

Materials

Pin 2 Straws 4 Mini cups A Pencil Scotch Tape

Our First Step

First we took the pin and stuck it in the eraser of the pencil.

Our Second Step

Next we used scotch tape and taped two straws together in the center.

Our Third Step

Then we put holes in the cups and stuck the straws in the holes. Then we put the pin in the center of the straws and in the eraser.

Our Fourth Step Then to test the speed of wind, we went outside and went to the corner of Johnston and Philadelphia street. On the next slide try and count how many times it goes around. But sometimes it can be a little tricky!

How you can measure the speed of wind

Well you can make something like we did or you could do this one:

Speed Of Wind

One Kind of a Beaufort scale

Wind is the fastest growing source of electricity in the world

The wind blows because air has weight

Cold air weighs more than warm air

Wind forms when cold air meets warm air

Heat makes air start moving!

Wind blows heat away from your body

A gale is a VERY strong wind

More Information

The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountains in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about

to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains

apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake,

but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 1 kings 19:11

Lili: To me the bible verse means that God is the

most amazing person in the world and can do what

he wants to do.

Julia: To me it means God is ever where we look and go and he can do what ever he

feels like doing.
