Haven’t used any of them except for a chronometer and goniometer myself :P

Seems everyone got them already.

 

A goniometer measures geometric angles.
A hydrometer measures the specific gravity of a liquid.
A chronometer measures time.
An anemometer measures wind velocity.

Those Latin and Greek word stem studies come in handy. :)

 

Goniometer - An optical instrument for measuring crystal angles, as between crystal faces.
Hydrometer - Instrument used to measure specific gravity.
Chronometer - A timekeeping device.
Anenometer - A device for measuring wind velocity.

;)

are you in science olympiad or something? practical data gathering? ew

goniometer -> no clue
hydrometer -> humidity.. i think
chronometer -> chrono = time?
anemometer -> wind speed
