CONCEPT PAPER FOR THE INVESTIGATORY PROJECT (RESEARCH-BASED)

WIND VANE GROUP 4

I. INTRODUCTION
According to Anne Kamiya (Researcher), a wind vane is a non-symmetrical weather
instrument that measures wind direction. We know that the direction of wind
contributes to the changing weather conditions. It's used to predict the intensity of
storms. It is used in disaster management to protect people from strong winds. As we
were intrigued by this research, we wanted to try and make our wind vane with our
own materials

II. METHODOLOGY
2.1 OBJECTIVES
1. TO CREATE OUR WIND VANE.
2. TO TEST IF THE WIND VANE WORKS EVEN IF WE USE OUR MATERIALS.

2.2 MATERIALS
COLOR PENS
DRINKING STRAW
PAPER PLATES (2PCS)
HARD PAPER
PIN
GLUE
PENCIL

2.3 PROCEDURES/MECHANICS IN DOING THE PRODUCT

Step 1: Write the 4 cardinal directions.

Step 2: Draw and decorate.

Step 3: Make an arrow.

Step 4: Measure and cut the straw (16cm).

Step 5: Insert the pin in the center of the straw.

Step 6: Cut a slit on both ends of the straw.

Step 7: Insert the arrowhead and tail.

Step 8: Use clay to make the base.

Step 9: Use glue to stick the 2 paper plates together.

Step 10: Put the pin into the pencil eraser.
Step 11: Press the pencil into the center of the plate.

II. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION (OPTIONAL)

In conclusion, it is possible to make your own wind vane with materials you can find in your
house. But we recommend doing research before making one so you have the knowledge you
need to use it.
