Take a Hike 3e5v5o
Take a walk in your neighborhood and collect data, such as temperature, elevation, and the most common kinds of trees and animals you see. Then, head out on a day-long adventure. If there are large hills in your area, visit one or two of those. If you live near a mountain range, consider a day trip there! When you get to the top of the mountain or hill, collect the same data you collected during your neighborhood walk. It might surprise you that even the top of a hill in a city will likely feel windier than the bottom.
