This compact, 5-in-1 weather station provides the tools to investigate specific weather phenomena and Earth’s climate system in general. Efficient design includes a durable stake to secure the weather station into the ground or to a pole outside for real-time measurements. Built-in tools include: wind vane, compass, rain gauge, anemometer (wind speed indicator), and thermometer to monitor, observe, and record weather data. The 32-page, full-color manual guides young scientists through hands-on experiments to investigate a variety of topics including air pressure and temperature, the water cycle, the atmosphere, wind, and more. Encourages and develops observation and note-taking skills while promoting a sense of responsibility for our planet, nature, and the environment.
