New script

I will present the students with different types of rain gauges for three days prior to starting the project of creating their own rain gauge. I will use this to introduce the topic and to gain the kids to be eager to learn about the rain gauge.  This will leave them inquiring for a few days, so discussion will start to form about the topic.

Each student will pick out a glass jar; there are different shapes and sizes. You may choose to place the small ruler inside the jar when measuring or you can choose to tape the ruler in the jar or to write the measurements with a ruler on the outside of the jar. We will place your jar in an open area where it can collect rain for the next month. Every morning as a class we will go check our rain gauges to see how much rain we got that day to the nearest millimeter. We will record the amount of rainfall we receive over a month and record in our weather journals. At the end of the month we will make a graph and chart of the rainfall for that month. 

***********what do you two think? any corrections that should be made? Any ideas that should be added?  Let me know...then I will record and send it to Sarah ASAP so she can put it together!! thanks Sarah********
