An anemometer is a device used for measuring wind speed and direction. It is also a common weather station instrument. The anemometer in this simple experiment set up is made using disposable cups, wooden sticks, and a thermocoal block used as a support to the anemometer. A hair drier is used to simulate wind. When the hair is put at low speed the anemometer rotated slow and when hair dried put in high flow mode the anemometer rotated fast. #anemometer #forkids #experimemtsathome
