Weather Forecasting
Build Your Own Weather Station!

🎯 Objective:

You will learn how to observe and predict weather using simple homemade tools. They’ll explore concepts like temperature, air pressure, and wind direction.

🚀 “Start Learning

  • Plastic bottle (empty)

  • Balloon

  • Rubber bands

  • Straw

  • Ruler

  • Marker

  • Compass (or compass app)

  • Paper or cardboard

  • Scissors

  • Tape

  • Thermometer (store-bought or DIY alcohol-based one

  • Pencil & notebook (for recording)


1. Barometer (Measure Air Pressure)

  • Cut the neck off a balloon and stretch it over the mouth of a glass jar or plastic cup.

  • Tape a straw across the balloon surface so it sticks out like a pointer.

  • Place a piece of paper behind it and mark where the straw points each day.

  • As air pressure changes, the balloon will bulge or shrink, moving the straw.

 Create a Weather Log sheet with:

  • Date

  • Temperature

  • Wind Direction

  • Air Pressure (high, low, rising, falling)

  • General Weather (sunny, cloudy, rainy, etc.)
