4M KidzLabs Weather Station
Learn about your climate while tracking weather changes and conducting experiments on the greenhouse effect.
Observe and record the weather with your own multi-functional weather station. The kit features a wind vane, an anemometer, a thermometer and a rain gauge. Also experiment with the greenhouse effect and create a terrarium in a recycled bottle.
The 4M KidzLabs Weather Station can offer a good bit of educational value for children, particularly in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Here's a breakdown of how it can benefit a child's learning:
-
Hands-on science exploration: The weather station includes tools to measure real-world weather phenomena like wind speed, temperature, and rainfall. This allows kids to observe and record data directly, fostering a practical understanding of weather patterns.
-
Introduction to meteorology: By using the weather station, children can learn basic meteorological concepts like wind direction, temperature scales, and rainfall measurement. They can see how these elements combine to influence local weather conditions.
-
Data collection and analysis: The weather station encourages kids to collect and record weather data over time. This allows them to practice observation skills, data recording, and even basic analysis of how weather patterns change.
-
Understanding the greenhouse effect: Some versions of the 4M weather station include a terrarium element. This can be used to introduce the concept of the greenhouse effect and how human activities can impact climate.
Completed station measures 8.5" x 4.75". Includes everything you need and assembly instructions.
Ages: 8+ years
