1.Introduction
The fast pace of modern life greatens the distance between humans and nature, making more kids caged in the concrete jungle. However, interacting with nature is an indispensable part of their growth. The weather itself can be an accessible yet interesting subject for kids to study. Through meteorological observations, recording, and analyzing, kids can literally learn and do science that is combined seamlessly with their daily life activities. From terraces to living rooms, in backyards, and in classrooms, this DIY Weather Station Kit can be used in measuring both indoor and outdoor data concerning temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. It comes with a solar panel, which provides an auxiliary power supply to the system. This DIY Weather Station Kit is both energy-saving and green and can help to develop kids' interest in natural science.
Features
- Measure data concerning temperature, humidity and barometric pressure.
- With a solar panel to provides auxiliary power supply to the system.
