ExperimentExperimentWe will attempt to

find average and max wind speeds at different altitudes.

Experimental Experimental DesignDesign

These are the materials and the instruments in which we will perform our experiment with.

We used a 4”x6” Gondola which held all of our instruments

1000ft of Nylon Cord Kestrel 1000 Wind Speed

Anemometer 16 gauge piece of metal at 4”

to hold Wind Speed meter High winds require stabilizing

ExpectationsExpectations

We expect wind speeds to vary at different altitudes

Expect 5 minute interval for data collection between altitudes.

Expect to find accurate average speed and maximum speed

ConclusionConclusion

We conclude that both average and maximum speeds increased with an increase in altitude. This being, because their was more movement of air at a higher elevation.
