1. 2 Sticks
2. 4 cups
3. Tape

	Spins per minute	wind speed ( kph)
Field	16	6-12	2
Old J Block site	10	2-5	1
Grass hill	5	0-2	0
Tennis Court Gate	3	0-2	0

WHICH IS THE WINDEST AREA AND WHY?

the windest area is the field because it is an open space and there are not that many buildings and tall trees around the field.

WHICH IS THE CALMEST AREA AND WHY?

The calmest space is the court because there is fencing around the courts and there are trees around the fencing and that makes the wind not get into the courts.

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE ON LAND TO BUILD A WINDMILL?

the best place to build a windmill is the field because it is an open space.

Conclusion:

The field spins per minute were 16 spins/wind speed (kph) 6-12 and the Beaufort scale was 2.
Old J block spins per minute were 10 spins/wind speed (kph) 2-5 and the Beaufort scale was 1.
Grass hill spins per minute were 5/ wind speed (kph) 0-2 and the Beaufort scale was 0.
Tennis court Gate Spins per minute 3/wind speed (kph) 0-2  and the Beaufort scale was 0.
The spot with the most wind was the field because it is an open space.
