Anemometer

Used to measure wind speed.
HOW?
Add string to a nail and hang a light ball at the end of the string
On a semi-circular board mark the wind speeds
Keep the device parallel to the wind and note the wind speeds
Fun Fact
One wind turbine can deliver electricity to 500 homes
Rain gauge…
WHAT?
Used to measure rainfall
HOW?
Place the collecting jar in the rain. At the end of the day, we pour the water form the collecting jar into the measuring jar to find out the rainfall.
Fun Fact
The highest amount of rainfall ever was in Cheerapunji, India at 72 inches in 1 day
Weather Vane
WHAT?
Used to measure wind direction
HOW?
Take the vane outside where it is windy. Find out the direction of the wind. Based on the direction of the arrow, we can record the direction of the wind.
Fun Fact
If the wind is swirly, the wane can go round and round!
Thermometer
WHAT?
Used to measure temperature
HOW?
Keep the thermometer in the location you want to measure the hotness or coldness. When it hot the rubbing alcohol rises up; and when it is cold the rubbing alcohol drops down.
Fun Fact
In Antarctica the temperature can go into the negative!
Hygrometer
WHAT?
Used to measure humidity
HOW?
The hair strand lengthens up or curls up depending on the humidity in the air. Based on the markings on the ruler, we can determine the humidity
Fun Fact
Did you know why your hair frizzes up? It is because of humidity
Barometer
WHAT?
Used to measure the air pressure
HOW?
When the air pushes down on the balloon, the straw tilts up. The marking on the board will indicate the pressure.
Fun Fact
The hotter it is, the lesser the air pressure
