Student Instructions

LI: I can follow instructions to create a rain gauge. It rains in Scotland a lot! Rain can come in lots of sizes, from big, heavy drops to light, little specs. Meteorologists use a rain gauge to record the amount of rain that has fallen. Follow the instructions to create your own rain gauge. Take a photo of your finished gauge and upload it to this activity. Then, keep your rain gauge in a safe place. We are going to use your rain gauge to record the amount of rainfall that has fallen next week. The activity will be available on Monday 25th January. Extra Challenge: Can you find out why it is important to measure rainfall?
