Last night I watched the International Space Station fly by. It went by in the northwest sky. This is a picture of the dusk sky from last night.
Hygrometer - measures humidity
Thermometer - measures temperature
Rain Gauge - measures rainfall
Anemometer - measures wind speed
My favorite tool is the anemometer. Someday I hope I can use an anemometer to measure a hurricane's wind speed. And, it has the word mom in it (just a little joke).
This is a picture of me with my weather station. The tool on top is the anemometer. My favorite tool. A couple of days a go, it was really spinning. The highest reading I got was 10.57 mpk. This was on my street. We didn't get a true reading because we didn't have it in an open field.
Awesome blog, Grant. In my middle school Science class we built ping pong ball anemometers using a protractor, string, and a ping pong ball. I found a site that had better instructions than my memory can supply. Check it out:

Wow Grant, this is a really cool blog! I'm really excited to show Evan, (Do you remember Evan? He was in your kindergarten class and we moved to Arizona.) This is a really neat idea to write a blog. What a great summer project!
