Simple Anemometer

The StemAids Simple Anemometer is an educational weather-measurement instrument designed to measure wind speed and wind direction. It is suitable for schools, colleges, environmental science labs, geography rooms, STEM classrooms, weather-study projects, outdoor field activities, and basic meteorology demonstrations.

Product Description

The StemAids Simple Anemometer helps students observe and record wind movement in a practical and easy-to-understand way. It measures wind speed in meters per second and indicates wind direction using a 16-point compass direction scale.

The instrument includes a built-in compass, allowing learners to identify the direction from which wind is blowing. It is useful for classroom weather stations, environmental observation, geography practicals, physics activities on air movement, and STEM-based field studies.

Compact and lightweight, this anemometer is easy to carry outdoors for weather data collection. It supports observation-based learning by helping students record wind speed, wind direction, time, location, and weather conditions.
