P3 Rain Gauges

We made rain gauges in class.  We go 3 bottles and cut them in half.  We put stones in the bottom so the bottles don’t blow away.  We turned the top around and put inside the bottom, like a funnel.   We made a scale on the side of the bottle using pen and tape.

We put gauges outside, one in the eco pod, one in the quiet area and one outside Miss McAulay’s office.  We are worried the pen might rub off, the bottles might blow away or the rain might over flow.  We will check on our experiment everyday to make everything is ok. 

We checked on our gauges today.  There was no water because it hadn’t rained yet.  We think it might rain at the weekend and we will have some water in our gauges next week.
