1. Assemble the weather station parts and set them outside or on a sill.
2. Plant the seeds in the sealed planter.
3. Take a reading each day — wind, rain, temperature.
4. Note the reading alongside how the plant has grown.
5. After a week or two, look back and see whether the two line up.

• Measuring, recording and comparing over time
• The idea that weather and growth are connected
• Patience with a project that only pays off after weeks
• Reading an instrument rather than guessing

• Keep a chart on the wall and fill it in daily
• Predict tomorrow's weather from today's reading and check
• Compare a week of readings with what the forecast said
