Instruments for Weather Basics

by Bob Jones

Weather is always a good subject for discussion especially for young children because they experience it everyday. Even then, it's better to start with the basics so as not to complicate the subject. First, discuss the basic instruments needed to further their knowledge on the subject: * Hygrometer for measuring the humidity of air * Thermometer for temperature * Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure. Show them examples of these instruments and their uses. When they get to know the instruments and the terms well, move on with the relationships. Example is, how does a rise in atmospheric temperature affect the pressure of the atmosphere, or, what is most likely to happen if there's a drop in pressure of the atmosphere.
