Experiment Set Wind and Weather

For the daily weather report: the mobile weather station in a case.
Pupils will first be motivated to learn how to use the thermometer, precipitation gauge and wind gauge and also to observe the clouds in order to start a long-term weather observation - using the measuring equipment in the case.

Learning about and documenting the weather and understanding its context. This experiment case gives you all the materials you need for a mobile weather station, which you can transport easily and erect quickly.

Pupils can use it to observe the weather and to find out what meteorological conditions have what effect on the measurement instruments. In addition, they will learn to have fun handling the measurement devices, as well as recording and evaluating the data gathered.

The materials provided in the case allow comprehensive documentation of the weather with equipment that is child friendly to operate. The individual steps can be done in groups or at a single workstation.
The set contains materials for 6 groups and experiments for 33 workstations, including corresponding copy templates. A teacher's guide contains instructions for all the steps.

Experiments on the topic of wind and weather:
Temperature
- We learn to read the temperature
- Measuring the temperature in the classroom
- Observation table: air temperature
- The maximum-minimum thermometer

Precipitation
- What is precipitation?
- We learn to measure how much it has rained
- We read the precipitation levels
- Observation table: precipitation

Clouds
- How clouds develop
- A self-made water circulation system
- Various types of cloud
- How thick is the cloud?
- Cloud pictures
- Observation table: clouds

Wind, etc.
- The wind gauge
- We learn to read the wind gauge
- Wind strength
- The compass
- Wind direction
- Build your own wind direction gauge
- Observation table: we read the wind strength and wind direction daily

The daily weather report
- The weather symbols
- The daily weather report
- The "long-term forecast"
- Observation table: weather observation

All the materials are supplied in a plastic case where everything has its fixed place in the foam insert or insert tray. This makes it easy to check everything is there.
An illustrated overview provides a good summary of where each piece belongs and can be quickly removed and replaced thanks to the hook and loop fastening.
