Group Investigation.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

Instructions:

• Go to the measuring place and set up your wind gauge.
• Make sure everyone in your group is ready to start their roles.
• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
• Count the number of spins in 15 seconds.
• Record it on your chart.

FINDINGS

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	0
2.	Old J Block site	0
3.	Grass hill in quad	0
4.	Tennis Court gate	0

CONCLUSION:

I think that there was no wind on the field because most of the people in our group were crowding around the wind gauge.

I think there was no wind at the olf j block site because there was a building right next to it making it so there was less wind.

I think that there was no wind on the grass hill because it was surrounded by buildings with not a lot of gaps, even though it was higher up, I think the buildings were blocking some of the wind, as well as some of the people in our group crowding it.

I think that there were trees around it as well as people crowding it and a fence.
