Starting a science weather unit collecting weather data? Have your students design and build a rain gauge first and use their instrument to take their daily measurements! In this activity, students are challenged to design and build a rain gauge from household materials. To make it as accurate as possible, they have to make their container cylinder-shaped, stable and reduce evaporation. Students can work individually or in small groups to do their design. Students will draw and describe their de
