    Students will make their own rain gauges to learn how scientists measure weather. Working with the teacher, students will guide the construction of rain gauges using water bottles, pebbles, and tape. They will ask questions to deepen their understanding of why certain materials are used. Students will then take their rain gauges home to measure rainfall with their families. The teacher will observe students and take notes to assess their completion of the activity.

    Weather Tools: Rain Gauge Experiment

    Standards: K-ESS2-1, K-ESS3-2, K-2-ETS1-1


    Objective:
    -describe how scientists measure weather

    Hook: Before break, we learned about the rain gauge. Who can remind us why we might want
    to make our very own rain gauge?

    Teaching Method:
    The teacher will guide students as they make their very own rain gauge, asking students high
    cognitive questions to deepen learning: why is the top left open? Why do you think we are
    putting pebbles in the water bottle? What might happen if we did not put pebbles in the bottle?

    Materials:
    -14 plastic water bottles
    -pebbles
    -tape
    -brown bags to take it home

    Student Activity:
    Students will participate by making a rain gauge. Students will collaborate with their peers to
    make their own rain gauge. Students will take their rain gauge home, so they can measure the
    rainfall with their families.

    Assessment:
    -Teacher observation
    -completion of activity
    -anecdotal notes

    Accommodations/Modifications:
    -Implement IEP supports
    -repeat/reword instructions
