This set of 13 photographic posters shows various instruments used to measure weather - old and new, simple and complicated - out in the "wild"! Print them out or put them up on your whiteboard or computer screen for the kids to see and identify. They provide plenty of opportunity for discussion.
This is a fun way to encourage children to think about how to measure wind direction, and why they might want to measure it. And of course, for some reason, weather vanes are often cockerel shaped - so ours is too! This easy craft includes a template for you to cut out.
Windsocks like the one on this poster are used to show the direction and strength of the wind, particularly at places like airports. Print this poster using the borderless settings on your printer for the best results.
A weather vane is a device used to tell which direction the wind is blowing, and they're usually found high on a rooftop like the one on this poster.
