Students began building their weather stations today! Students are challenged to build a weather station that measures two weather phenomena such as rain fall, humidity, air pressure, temperature, wind direction, or wind speed. After planning last week, students were very excited to start building today. Students are again learning how to work in groups and deal with disagreements and other problems that might arise when using the Engineering Design Process. Today many groups found that some of the materials they planned to use for their weather station did not work the way they planned them to. Students worked on persevering and problem solving to determine alternative materials to use meet their needs. We will continue to build next week. We all look forward to getting these weather stations outside and working soon so we can use them to observe the current weather conditions.
