| Meteorologists
study the weather by recording and analyzing data collected from a
range of devices. For our Rough Science weather station, we made a
barometer,
a hygrometer,
a rain gauge, a thermometer, a weather
vane and an anemometer.
The barometer and hygrometer are sensitive instruments. We kept them
away from direct sunlight, wind and rain. All the other instruments
could be placed outside. We kept a weather journal to record all measurements
and from this we could detect patterns that enabled us to predict the
weather. |
