Let's make an anemometer to measure wind speed

Split into groups for this fun learning activity. Use your team working skills to make your very own anemometer. Think like a scientist to test and evaluate how it works. How does wind power change the way it moves?

Did you know that taking part in Wind Power will contribute to your pupils' recommended 60 daily active minutes? Let's get going.
