Weather Station

This design technology scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to select materials and techniques to utilise when designing and making instruments to measure the local weather around the school. The class can identify the properties of materials to match success criteria for the finished product.

Select materials and techniques to utilise when designing and making a range of instruments that can be used measure the local weather around the school

Lesson One : Weather Instruments

Explain and test how a range of instruments can be used to measure different types of weather

Lesson Two : Instrument Materials

Select and discuss success criteria for designing and making a range of weather instruments

Lesson Three : Wind Speed

Select and combine materials to build an anemometer that can be used to measure the strength of the wind

Lesson Four : Instrument Design

Complete a plan about how to build different instruments with movement mechanisms to measure the weather

Lesson Five : Weather Construction

Select and shape materials to build different instruments that can be used to measure the weather

Lesson Six : Weather Testing

Review the design and materials used in the construction of instruments with movement mechanisms to measure the weather
