POOF-Slinky 18000 Scientific Explorer Climate Cubes Weather Information Station Kit
The POOF-Slinky 18000 Scientific Explorer Climate Cubes Weather Information Station Kit teaches the science behind forecasting weather and lets you create your own weather station right at home. The basic weather station consists of (3) cubes that can be used individually or combined to create a complete weather station. Each cube has a system of pegs and holes so the cubes can be joined together in a variety of groupings to display (4) different weather conditions. The Wind Vane shows which direction the wind is blowing while the Anemometer measures the wind speed in KPH (kilometers per hour) and MPH (miles per hour). Use the Thermometer to read the temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius degrees. The Rain Gauge measures accumulated precipitation in inches and centimeters to see how much rain has fallen over any given time. From the information you gather you’ll begin to see patterns that affect the weather in your area and you will begin to predict your own local weather like a pro. This kit includes (3) weather cubes, rain collection cup, (3) wind vane connectors and fun fact instruction manual.
