Give kids hands-on experience, working through simple and intriguing geophysical science experiments. The multi-function Weather Station kit demonstrates how to track meteorological changes and conduct experiments on the greenhouse effect. Completed station features a thermometer, rain gauge, wind vane and compass. Makes a great science fair project! Kit requires one recycled plastic bottle (not included). Recommended Ages: Ages 8 and up Availability: In Stock

Author: lana marinkovRating: 1 out of 5 starsMy daughter was very dissapointed in her weather station. It was 'cheesy' she said. She wishes she would not have wasted her hard earned money on something that does not really work.
Author: CarrieRating: 4 out of 5 starsThe weather station kit was a fun challenge for my son and I to assemble. The directions are well written and the exploded picture was easy for my 8-year-old son to read and follow. The weather station itself is made of a light weight molded plastic and I would have liked to see a heavier plastic used. We plan to set the weather station out in the spring (so the parts don't freeze during the winter) and we'll see how it holds up then. Otherwise, this is a good kit to explore the different measurement devices and talk about how scientists look at weather.
