About This Product
Set up in an open area where wind reaches the cups freely, the model lets students count rotations of the red cup over a fixed time and record them in a weather observation table. Repeating the count at different times or places shows that faster rotation indicates stronger wind. It suits introductory meteorology, environmental science and geography lessons.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How do students measure wind with the Anemometer Model? They watch the red cup, count its rotations over a fixed time interval and record the number. Comparing counts taken at different times or locations shows how wind conditions change.
