Educational rain gauge

Function

Intended for experimental study, a science and geography laboratory, and conducting experiments on: Meteorology. Spatial geometry. Determining the volume of water precipitated on a surface. The importance of precipitation in the water cycle and environmental balance. What is meant by a rain gauge. Measuring the perimeter of the schoolyard. Determining the area of the schoolyard. Collecting precipitation data. Relationship between rainfall height and precipitated volume. Conversion of height to rainfall volume. Analysis of results. Graphical representation of precipitation, constructing a hyetograph. Determining the area of the rain gauge's collecting chamber. Determining the volume of rain precipitated in the rain gauge. What is meant by a hyetograph. Obtaining graphs. Statistics. Statistical analysis of local precipitation data. Performing statistical analysis of local precipitation. Arithmetic mean. Determining the arithmetic mean of precipitation data. Mode. Frequency. Determining the mode of precipitation data. Median. Determining the median of precipitation. Determining the median for sets with an odd number of data points. Determining the median for sets with an even number of data points. Sample variance. Determining the variance of measured data. Sample standard deviation. Determining the sample standard deviation. Obtaining graphs. Observing and recording data. Analysis of the mean. Analysis of the mode. Analysis of the median. Variability of the data. Environmental interpretation of the results. Comparing precipitation data at school with data from official weather stations. Coordinated Universal Time, UTC. Converting local time to UTC. Relationship between rainfall height and precipitation volume. What is meant by hyetograph. Obtaining local rain gauge graphs. Comparing obtained precipitation data with data from official weather stations. Determining the accumulated precipitation from data from official weather stations. Obtaining rain gauge graphs from nearby official weather stations, etc.
