Weather observation with Cobra SMARTsense

Principle

The weather is primarily influenced by the parameters air pressure, humidity, air temperature and brightness. With the Cobra SMARTsense Weatherstation it is possible to set up your own weather station to measure these parameters in order to make the relationships between them understandable.

Tasks

1. Measurement of air pressure, humidity, air temperature, light intensity on different days of the year and at different times of day
2. Discussion of the dependence between the individual weather parameters

Learning Objective

Students should become familiar with weather parameters, link them to practical measurements and be able to establish connections between important weather and light parameters.

Benefits

• Measurements possible indoors and outdoors, for mobile use
• Especially understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life, etc.) including protocol questions
• Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets or smartphones
• Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP
• Increased media competence
