Hands-on activity and blog posting:
Assignment: we will make a rain measurement tool in class. Measure rainfall at your house for two weeks. Record the rainfall on the blog every day. Compare your measurements with other students’ findings. Are all the measurements the same? Why or why not?
Maybe different amounts of evaporation caused
our measurements to be different. My rain
measuring tool was in the sun, so maybe it evaporated faster.
