  1. Team H.F.M.A Spread Creativity! Designed and Built by Hernan Arreola, Felipe Aguilar, Marisol Granados, & Alese Dominguez

  2. Experiment • We will attempt to find average and max wind speeds at different altitudes.

  3. Experimental Design • We used a 4”x6” Gondola which held all of our instruments • 1000ft of Nylon Cord • Kestrel 1000 Wind Speed Anemometer • 16 gauge piece of metal at 4” to hold Wind Speed meter • High winds require stabilizing tail These are the materials and the instruments in which we will perform our experiment with.

  4. Expectations • We expect wind speeds to vary at different altitudes • Expect 5 minute interval for data collection between altitudes. • Expect to find accurate average speed and maximum speed

  5. Data

  6. Conclusion • We conclude that both average and maximum speeds increased with an increase in altitude. This being, because their was more movement of air at a higher elevation.

  7. Acknowledgments • We’d like to thank Mrs. Bredensteiner and Mr. Kliewer for working countless hours on making this event possible. We’d also like to recognize David and Colin, our mentors, along with all the mentors of each team and Tobin James Winery in allowing us to hold our event here.- Team H.F.M.A
