Studying the weather is an ideal project for linking to gardening activities as the weather conditions and climate very much affect how we garden and what we grow.
A study of the weather also provides real life opportunities for the pupils to study and create charts and graphs.
In our garden we have set up a weather station that feeds information to our computer. Data has been collected since October 2009 and so almost covers a full year. The charts and type of station used has changed during this time as we continue to learn and improve.
If you study the weather then you may like to check the following:
The Green Lane Weather Diary this is updated daily wherever possible and includes short comments on how the weather is affecting our gardening.
The weather station sends real time information to this web page. On most days this is updated every 15 minutes - although at times when we are unable to leave our computer connected to the internet this feature will be suspened.
Monthly weather summaries are also provided on our web site from this link
Most of the charts can be viewed at full size by clicking on the images. If there is other types of information that would prove useful then please post a comment and if possible we will try and help.
