Place name on school grounds                                    Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.Field
2.Old J block
3.Grass hill in quad6
4.Tennis Court gate2

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.
