What children learn in Level 14
- Weather scientists use tools to measure the weather. A thermometer measures how hot or cold the air is.
- A wind vane shows which way the wind is blowing. Its arrow points to where the wind is coming from.
- A rain gauge measures how much rain fell. It's a clear tube with numbers on the side.
- Some weather you can see with just your eyes, like clouds in the sky!
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- S1E1.c — Plan and carry out investigations on current weather conditions by observing, measuring with simple weather instruments (thermometer, wind vane, rain gauge), and recording weather data (temperature, precipitation, sky conditions, and weather events) in a periodic journal, on a calendar, and graphically.
