Lester Prairie Second Graders Are Weather Watchers



During the month of April, the second graders at Lester Prairie Elementary School learned how to measure the weather.  They went outside to take daily temperature readings that they recorded and turned into a graph. Each child made a rain gauge to take home so they could measure the rainfall.  They learned how to measure wind using an anemometer and also made wind vanes.  During this weather unit they also observed the water cycle in the classroom first hand by watching water evaporate, condense into tiny droplets, and then rain back down again.
