Students built, tested, and researched individual weather instruments to use in furthering their understanding of weather measurement and weather prediction. Now we are hoping for all the classic Calgary spring conditions (sun, rain, snow, wind, chinooks, etc.) so students can continue to incorporate weather information into their daily weather journals.
Have your child share his or her weather journal with you, and ask about our class weather instruments, particularly, how to use each one of the instruments, and what they indicate or measure. The instruments the students researched and made were: a rain gauge, barometer, anemometer and wind vain.
