Groups size: 5 
Roles:

• Wind Manager

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

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	0.5
2.	Old J block site	1
3.	Grass hill quad	1
4.	Tennis Court gate	0

CONCLUSION:

The tennis court gate had 0 spins, the field had 0.5 spins and the old j block site and grass hill quad had the same amount of spins 1 I didn't think any of these places were gonna get any spins because it wasn't as windy outside. When we got to those places we had to time 15sec then once we get to 0sec we move on to the next location, we asked what other people got they said they got 0 spins for most of their's so not everyone had the same amount of spins.
