Weather Collection Equipment

Help me give my students a rain gauge and weather station to gather and record information such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall during our weather unit in 7th grade science.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Polwort's classroom raised $322

This project is fully funded

My Students

I have approximately 135 7th grade science students. These students come from mostly lower socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 85% qualifying for free or reduced lunch. My students are curious about the world of weather and enjoy hands on active learning.

These students come from various backgrounds and cultures, but they all take great pride in their school.

My students deserve the best classroom experience that I can give. With their strong desire for technology and interest in weather, they will definitely benefit from these materials.

My Project

The digital weather collection equipment will allow my students the opportunity to gather various weather data including temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and rainfall. Furthermore, since some of the equipment is wireless, we can safely view how the data changes in live time, especially if a storm happens to pass through during class time (quite likely in the spring).

This equipment will allow us to submit our rainfall amounts as a community site on the Community Collaborative Rain Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS).

The rain gauge is a high precision and accuracy rain gauge intended for use in the CoCoRaHS Network. The use of it will further reinforce the skills used to manually take measurements, something we do quite often in the science classroom.
