Weather

This term we have been learning all about the weather.





We used a jar, a balloon and a straw to make our own barometer.  A barometer measures air pressure.



We have done lots of experiments.

                      



        
                     


We have been learning about freezing and melting. We did an experiment to measure the melting point of ice. We found that ice freezes at 0 degrees celcius.



We have also learned about the water cycle, rainbows, and did our own weather forecasting.

  1. Your experiments look really interesting. Did you manage to make a rainbow? Rainbows are my favourite weather effect!

  2. You are measuring using thermometers.
    We have been working on measuring with them too.

    Lovely to see your new photo on the blog website.
