4M - Green Science - Weather Station

Become a Real Meteorologist — Build Your Own Weather Station!

What's the weather doing today? With the 4M Green Science Weather Station Kit, kids aged 8 and up can find out — using their very own professional-style weather instruments! This comprehensive kit lets young scientists build and use a wind vane, anemometer, thermometer, and rain gauge to conduct authentic atmospheric observations right in their own backyard.

By collecting real weather data over time, children develop a genuine understanding of weather patterns, climate systems, and the science of meteorology — the same skills used by real weather scientists every day. And as a bonus, kids can also explore the greenhouse effect and build a terrarium in a bottle for a complete earth science experience.
