Our first step in the study of Meteorology: Make a thermometer to help understand how they work! Here's a few pics of the Pioneers constructing an alcohol thermometer. We'll be making several instruments to put together our own weather station and we will be monitoring the weather for the next several months. Keep tuning in to see what experiments we come up with and what we learn about the weather and how it TRANSITIONS.
First, mix equal parts water and rubbing alcohol.
Then, pour them into a bottle.
Add food coloring.
Afix a straw in the bottle, using clay to keep it from touching the bottom.
Finally, heat up the air inside with your hands to see what happens!
