Anemometer Wind Speed Meter

The Anemometer Wind Speed Meter is a practical device for measuring wind speed in classroom meteorology lessons. It consists of four plastic cups (one red for tracking rotation) mounted on a low-friction bearing that allows students to observe wind-induced rotation and calculate wind speed.

This meter enables quantitative learning through manual counting of rotations, helping learners build data literacy and investigative skills. Combine with a wind vane for a comprehensive weather station setup.
