| WEATHER EXPERIMENTS |
| TARGET LEVEL: K Thru 2nd Grade |
| BENEFITS: + Spelling ++ Vocabulary ++ Logic/Reason +++ Science ++++ Mathmatics |
| Build a virtual thermometer than can be changed by hand. This experiment focuses HIGHLY on science and mathmatical areas. |
| This experiment will work with any number of students, however, due to the complexity of building these, try to limit it to under 30. |
| Appx. Time To Make Per Thermometer - 1 hour each (yes, it's a lot!) |
| Appx. Cost To Make Per Thermometer - $.25 - $.45 (depending on volume) |
| Student's LONG Term Interest Level on Subject -- MODERATE |
| Student's SHORT Term Interest Level on Subject -- VERY HIGH |
| TARGET LEVEL: 2nd Grade & Up |
| BENEFITS: ++ Mathmatics ++ Logic/Reason +++ Science +++ Mecanics ++++ Physics |
| Teach students about wind and the physics behind wind. Plus, give them something that can keep them interested in weather for some time! |
| This experiment will work with any number of students, however, due to the complexity of building these, try to limit it to under 30. |
| Appx. Time To Make Per Thermometer - 45 min. each |
| Appx. Cost To Make Each - $.00 - $.50 (depending on what you already have) |
| Student's LONG Term Interest Level on Subject -- HIGH |
| Student's SHORT Term Interest Level on Subject -- MODERATE |
 |
| Complexity In Building Apparatus -- MODERATE / HIGH (Tedious) |
| Complexity In Building Apparatus -- MODERATE/HIGH |
|
| Here are the experiments that I have performed at school talks so far. I try to learn a new one each time I give a school talk (not too bad so far, since I've only give two talks). I think that they're really useful, so feel free to try them out to your students and let me know how they work! |
