Activity #2: Weather Data

Download the datasheets and directions (PDF)

We are interested in following the weather patterns at your site, especially rainfall. If possible, buy an inexpensive rain gauge and mount it at your site. Check the gauge regularly and record rainfall amounts on Data Sheet #2. More ambitious data collectors could also keep track of the daily weather in your area: high and low temperatures, humidity, and rain (yes or no), and record these data on the second part of Data Sheet #2.
