A weather station is an engaging classroom tool that can be used to make science, geography, maths and computing lessons more appealing to students of all ages. Students and teachers can use the weather station for a wide variety of classroom projects, here are just a few:

• Maths - understanding charts and graphs.
• Maths - explaining aggregate functions: average, count, maximum, median, minimum, sum
• Computer science - web site design.
• Computer science - using a spreadsheet.
• Computer science - programming using remote monitoring API.
• Geography - understanding weather and climate.
• Geography - changing of the seasons.
• ... if you have any ideas for lesson plans, we'd love to hear from you.

Get your school involved in the MetLink project, it provides teachers and students with information about weather monitoring, climate change, classroom experiments and much more.
