Through the 'weather station' activity students from different European countries will be able to
construct their own weather station and enjoy a simple but fascinating experience by tracking
weather variability in real time throughout the year, and share their measurements with other
European schools!
This activity aims to make students aware of the scientific methods and of the importance
of observations, monitoring and long-term data analysis through practical experiences.
Educational Objectives:
Allow students to become familiar with basic scientific techniques like observation.
Introduce meteorological instruments and the parameters they measure (anemometer, rain gauge, weather vane, barometer, wind rose)
Through practical experience, emphasise the importance of daily observations and how to maintain a weather journal
Teach pupils how to process and display the recorded data, use graphs and make comparisons
Stimulate team work and appreciate the benefits of a network of schools!
New questions will also arise: Why does climate change? Why do certain regions have a milder or more variable climate than others? Does human activity have an impact on climate? Can we positively influence climate by changing our own daily behaviour? Etc…
To be part of this project, register your class and make your own weather station following the indications given by the 'Weather station kit'!
