Using Weather Instruments
Science · Weather & Climate · procedural
Use weather instruments to measure and record weather data: thermometers for temperature in °C, rain gauges for rainfall, wind vanes for direction, and anemometers for wind speed — and keep a weather diary over time
What mastery looks like
- Name at least three weather instruments and explain what each measures
- Read a thermometer and record the temperature in degrees Celsius
- Record weather data in a table or diary over several days
Check your understanding
If Using Weather Instruments had a thermometer, rain gauge, and wind vane at school, could they take daily readings, record them in a table, and spot patterns over a week or month?
