Wind Speed Challenge

Harness the power of wind with some weather based projects that will help you understand wind speed and how it changes from place to place and day to day.

Put your problem solving skills to the test with these fun challenges.

Take the Wind Speed Challenge
Anemometer
An anemometer will help show you how fast the wind is going by spinning cups around. The faster the wind is moving the faster the cups will spin.
What you'll need:

Paper cups

A skewer (or something similar to poke holes)

Straws

Scissors

A marker (felt pen)

Tape or glue

The Challenge:

Your challenge is to design something that can measure the wind speed. Create an anemometer that features free spinning cups that spin faster as the wind increases. The wind should blow into the cups pushing them away. The faster the wind the more force it has to push the cups and the faster they spin. You can measure the wind strength by comparing how many times the anemometer spins around every 10 seconds. Does it vary from place to place and day to day?

Wind Speed Box
Make a wind speed box to measure how fast the wind is blowing. Similar in use to the anemometer, your wind box will be able to measure the strength of the wind in different places.
What you'll need:

An old shoe box

A marker (felt pen)

String

Tape or glue

A piece of card

The Challenge:

The challenge is to make a wind box that can compare different wind speeds. Marking a scale inside the box is a good place to start and you can use the piece of card as a guide, with it swinging further along the scale as the wind increases. The rest is up to you and your problem solving skills. A stronger wind has more force to push the piece of card along the scale, while it might struggle to move it at all on a very calm day.
What's next?
Combine your wind speed results with wind direction, air pressure and rain fall for a full weather report.

NASA scientists are very interested in learning how clouds affect our atmosphere. It is the clouds, in part, that affect the overall temperature and energy balance of the Earth. The more we know about clouds, the more we will know about our Earth as a system. And YOU can help by sending NASA your observations!

NASA S'COOL has now joined forces with the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program creating a larger community of cloud observers across 120+ countries.

If you are new to GLOBE:

Citizen Science Observations can be submitted through the GLOBE Observer app.

The S'COOL Citizen Science option continues to be available here if you are not able to submit cloud observations through GLOBE.

The buttons to the right will walk you through each participation step! We welcome participation from any interested observers, especially from places where official weather observations are few and far between.

If you have ever taken a long trip, you may have noticed the can be quite different in different parts of the country. For example, if you travel from Detroit to Miami in December, you may need a large suitcase.

The and ice of a Detroit winter may mean you wear boots and a onto the plane, but by the you get to Miami, you will be ready for a swimsuit and shorts! The reason for the difference in is that Detroit and Miami have very different climates.

Many factors, such as elevation, ocean currents, distance from the sea, and prevailing winds, can affect the of an area. One of the most important things that influences , though, is . The of an area indicates how far it is - north or south - of the equator.

affects because it is related to the length and intensity of sunlight an area receives. As Earth orbits the sun, sometimes the Northern Hemisphere is tipped toward the Sun, while at other times the Southern Hemisphere is tipped toward the Sun.

When a is closer to the Sun, its days are longer, and the Sun's rays are stronger and more direct. When our hemisphere is tipped toward the Sun, we experience warmer and longer days. This is our summer. When we tip away from the Sun, the days are shorter and colder. This is winter.

But none of this explains why Detroit and Miami would have such different on the same day in the same month, does it? Actually... it does!

Miami is much closer to the equator than Detroit. This means the tipping of the hemispheres has less extreme effects on Miami than Detroit. Because Miami is closer to the equator, it receives a lot of sunlight and warmth all year long and thus maintains a warm .
