• 1 - What makes the weather

  experiment "What makes the weather"

  The students can describe weather conditions in everyday language and learn about the four specified weather elements.

  
  
• 2 - Recording the temperature

  experiment "Recording the temperature"

  The students can correctly measure the air temperature and record the findings.

  
  
• 3 - Maximum and minimum temperature

  experiment "Maximum and minimum temperature"

  The students recognize the possible applications of a maximum and minimum thermometer (direct measurement and “storage” of measured figures) they can read the displays of the max. and min. thermometer.

  
  
• 4 - Measuring the temperature day by day

  experiment "Measuring the temperature day by day"

  The students enter the temperature readings (current, maximum, minimum) in a table and later compile the figures to form a temperature curve.

  
  
• 5 - Clouds

  experiment "Clouds"

  The students can determine the degree of cloudiness by observing the sky.

  
  
• 6 - Wind direction

  experiment "Wind direction"

  The students learn the points of the compass, N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, SW and their representation on a compass card.

  
  
• 7 - Wind strength

  experiment "Wind strength"

  The students are introduced to wind measuring devices based on the principle of the anemometer, which they learn how to use. They can read the wind strength and speed and use various units of measure.

  
  
• 8 - Recording the rainfall

  experiment "Recording the rainfall"

  The students can record the level of rainfall in mm with the aid of a rain gauge.

  
  
• 9 - Using the weather symbols on the adhesive boards

  experiment "Using the weather symbols on the adhesive boards"

  The students describe or draw the symbols with the supplied water-soluble marker onto the plastic cards, then affix them to the board.

  
  
• 10 - A weather survey over four weeks

  experiment "A weather survey over four weeks"

  The students can, on their own, observe the weather elements: clouds, temperature, wind (direction, speed) and precipitation (type, quantity) over a long period of time and enter the observed data in a table.

  
  
• 11 - Evaluation of the weather survey

  experiment "Evaluation of the weather survey"

  From a weather table, the students can read the weather conditions on a single day and the course of the weather over several days.
