WeatherScope

from http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/weatherproj2/en/index.shtml** This wiki is set up so that teachers experience making a Class Weather Station using 21st Century skills.
 * An Investigative Study of Weather and Climate

As a group of 2-3 teachers, build the weather instrument you have been assigned EXACTLY as the instructions say. The purpose is to see if the instructions are effective and accurate for creating a functioning instrument. If not, edit the instructions so that they are effective and accurate.

The weather instruments you will build are: Barometer (Barometer 1 & Barometer 2), Thermometer (Thermometer 1 & Thermometer 2), Anemometer (Anemometer 1 & Anemometer 2) and a Wind Vane.

After you have completed and tested the weather instrument. Complete the section "**How does it work?**" Describe in detail how your weather instrument measures the weather variable intended.

Finally, complete the section "**Engineering Experience: Ideas for Improving the Design**" by exploring alternate materials, supporting structures, or streamlining designs that will improve the weather instrument. Areas to consider for improvement are accuracy, precision, portability & durability. Do not feel limited to these areas however. State the area for improvement and how you intend to meet your objective.
