Constant observation of the weather is an interesting and instructive activity. Especially if you have children and you would like to develop their observation and accuracy. You can write down your observations in a special diary - paper or electronic.
It is necessary
- - notebook or album;
- - markers or pencils;
- - ruler;
- - a computer with a Word editor;
- - pictures depicting rain, snow, sun, etc.
- - timesheet-calendar;
- - thermometer;
- - barometer.
Instructions
Step 1
Draw out a diary page. The best way to do this is exactly the same as in the calendar for this month. Let the vertical bars correspond to the number of weeks (including incomplete ones), and the horizontal bars - to the days of the week. Add numbers. The best place to do this is in the corner of each cell.
Step 2
Decide what symbols you use for precipitation and cloudiness. Temperature and pressure must be numbered. It is better to do this with markers or pens of different colors. Get used to looking at a street thermometer and a barometer at the same time of day. For example, at 8 o'clock or at 12. You can do this several times a day, as at a weather station. Mark wind directions with arrows. North is at the top, south is at the bottom, west is on the left, and east is on the right. The direction of the arrow indicates where the wind is blowing.
Step 3
When noting the weather for the first time, take a look at the thermometer and record the temperature. Look out the window and see if it's overcast, cloudy, or clear. Mark clear weather with the sun, cloudy - with the sun peeking out from behind a cloud, and cloudy - with a cloud. Look at the barometer and record the reading. It is very good if you have a multifunctional device that also shows humidity. It can also be written down. Mark the rainfall by drawing a droplet or snowflake.
Step 4
The nature calendar can also be made on a computer. Open Word or another editor that has a table function and the ability to insert a picture. Set table parameters. Insert the number of columns and rows, as well as their height and width. Mark numbers, for example, with regular black. Highlight temperature, pressure and humidity - in italics, underlined or bold type. You can make these inscriptions numbers of a different color, if the editor has a drawing function.
Step 5
To indicate cloudiness and precipitation, look for pictures that match the symbols you have invented. To place them in the diary, place the cursor in a cell in the table. In the top menu, find the "Insert" tab, and in it - "Image". Select the From File option. The picture with the image of the sun or rain will appear right in the table.
