Consider your indoor and/or outdoor wind speed results
- Pick one of your results and draw the angle you used to calculate the wind speed.
- Did you measure any wind indoors in unexpected places? If so, where?
- What was the outdoor wind speed?
- Look at your natural surroundings (trees blowing, grass moving). Does the wind speed appear to match current weather conditions, or is it unexplained?
