Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the PASPORT Weather Anemometer Sensor.
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Observing Clouds
In this lab, students use a weather sensor to show that clouds in the sky have properties that can be observed and described, and that students associate cloud formation with specific weather conditions such as temperature and...
Weather Station
In this lab, students use a weather sensor to measure temperature, dew point, humidity and atmospheric pressure over a period of time. Then, they'll identify any correlation between the data collected to observable weather conditions.
Dew and Frost
In this lab, students use a fast-response temperature sensor and a model to simulate the weather conditions responsible for the formation of dew and frost.
Exploring Microclimates (PASPORT sensors)
Use a PASPORT weather anemometer sensor and current local weather conditions to measure relevant weather conditions at different locations. Determine the impact that a location's environmental conditions have on the microclimate...
Weather Instruments
In this lab, students use a weather sensor to make measurements, determine weather conditions, and develop language for describing weather conditions.
The Water Cycle
In this lab, students use a weather sensor to measure the conditions in a water cycle model.
Microclimates
In this lab, students use a weather sensor to compare the temperature and humidity of various sites and determine the reason for any variations.
Weather in a Terrarium (PASPORT sensors)
Use a PASPORT weather anemometer sensor in the microclimate of a terrarium to understand changes in temperature, absolute and relative humidity, dew point, and barometric pressure. Note: This investigation has been updated for...
