Question
This could be a classroom activity. If your school laboratory has an anemometer, use it to record your city’s wind speed for a week. Use the Beaufort Scale to find out the character of wind during these days. Record your observations carefully in your notebook. You could even draw small neat sketches to show the effect of the wind.
