Christer Helander with his MetLink class.Christer has
pioneered many weather project ideas and his classes have
designed and made their own weather instruments. Every day
pupils from year 8 measure temperature (including max and
min), rainfall (snowfall), air pressure, wind-force, wind
direction and cloudiness.
Students at Bor have

the project. The photo on the students who had made
hydrometers using milk cartons. Our project involved us
observing the maximum and minimum temperature, the
barometric pressure, wind direction and speed, humidity,
precipitation and cloud cover.

James
Gibbons School, Edmonton, Canada We placed the following instruments in a
wooden screen that was built for us and was mounted on the
school roof. This allowed the air to flow inside and around
the instruments but kept the instruments in the shade.The
photo on the left shows some of the students carrying our
screen outside. As you can see the sun was quite bright; it
was around 11.30 am.
