FINDINGS
- Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
- You will need to time them and count the number of spins.
Place name on school grounds | Number of Spins in 15 seconds | |
1. | Field | 0 |
2. | Old J block | 7 |
3. | Grass hill in quad | 6 |
4. | Tennis Court gate | 2 |
CONCLUSION:
The field was the least windiest part of the school. It is because the field is not MY biggest Fan 😫. The old J block site and the grass hill quad More wind then the field when we were on it. The tennis court gate somehow got 2 we could've gotten 1 - 0 but the Anemometer was going one way then the other way. So pretty confusing for us. So the Old J block was the windiest part in the school.
