Forecasting the Weather
Easy
Have you ever wanted to know how to forecast the weather? With this project, you can learn how to use thermometers, barometers, wind vanes, anemometers, and hygrometers to measure the current weather conditions and make weather charts.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that students can use meteorological instruments to measure the current weather conditions and make weather charts.
Method & Materials
You will use a thermometer, barometer, wind vane, anemometer, and hygrometer to take measurements of the current weather conditions each day for two or three weeks.
You will need a thermometer, barometer, weather vane, anemometer, weather charts, hygrometer, and paper and pencil for notes.
Results
After taking measurements of the current weather conditions for two or three weeks, students can make weather charts of cold and warm fronts, high and low pressure systems, and cloud types.
Why do this project?
This science project is interesting and unique because it allows students to learn how to use meteorological instruments to measure the current weather conditions and make weather charts.
Also Consider
Experiment variations to consider include using a recording barometer instead of a regular barometer, and using a weather satellite to measure the current weather conditions.
