 Hi, my name is Chase and my name is Esme and I'm here to explain how to use an environmental measurement instrument. We will be talking about the WindMate. The WindMate is used for measuring the temperature and wind speed. Knowing this information can help us predict how a bushfire might behave. When we know how a bushfire might behave we can then make plans on how to put out the fire, contain the fire or take action to avoid the fire. To use a WindMate you need to open it by pulling down from the top right corner and pressing the mode button to open and turn it on. Continuously press mode to change the settings such as temperature, wind speed, compass, wind chill, humidity, wet bulb and wind speed. Hold the WindMate up very high to get an accurate result. Wait patiently until the numbers on the screen stop changing. The final number is your wind speed result. To turn it off hold down mode for four seconds until it says off on the screen. Hold the WindMate one hand at the top and one at the bottom and flip it upwards from the bottom left hand corner to close. You can follow the same process to measure our alpha factors. That's how we use our WindMate at Strafian Primary School. Bye.
