Weather Instrument Projects Due January 7th
I have challenged students to create a model of the weather instrument of their choice. Their model should be "kid made"and should be constructed from items that are around your home...or small items you can get at Walmart or the Dollar Store. We learned about the different weather tools in class this week, so students are familiar with how they work.
I recommend Googling the following websites to help give you ideas for making the instruments. Of course, there are many available websites with great ideas for building your model.

Students should type the Lab Report in a google document and can print it out or share it with me through google drive. No copies of print out instructions from the internet will be accepted.
I have changed the due date of the assignment to Monday, January 7th to give students more time to complete their projects. Disregard the date on the form!
Please let me know if you have any questions about the project.
