This weather tool is located in Lily's back yard. What type of weather tool is this?

a barometer that is measuring the amount of air pressure

a thermometer that is measuring the amount of temperature

a rain gauge that is measuring the amount of precipitation

an anemometer that is measuring the speed of precipitation

The photo above shows how a student made an anemometer. How does such an anemometer work?

the wind speed is measured by the amount of air captured by each cup

the wind speed is measured by the number of revolutions the cups make per minute.

the wind speed is estimated by how fast the cup is moving

the wind speed is calculated by how slow the cups are moving

Sam saw a scientist use a tool that looked like the draing above. He asked the scientist what he was doing with the tool and he said he was measuring how fast the wind was moving. What is the name of the tool pictured?

thermometer

barometer

anemometer

rain gauge

barometer

rain gauge

hygrometer

anemometer

A weather vane would work best in which location?

at ground level, in the open

at ground level, in the shade

on top of a house in a forest area

it works the same in an location

What are barometers used to measure?

air temperature

air pressure

wind velocity

humidity

Aaron made a weather vane for a science class project. In which direction can he record the wind according to his weather vane?

East- because wind direction is described by the direction from which the wind is blowing.

West- because wind direction is described by the direction the arrow on the vane is pointing.

South- because wind direction is described by the horizontal movement of a weather vane. 

North- because wind direction cannot be determined from a weather vane and the wind always blow to the North

The high and low temperatures for each day listed in a chart have been measured using a--

barometer

rain gauge

weather vane

thermometer
