Rain Gage

November 3, 2008
How much rain falls in a day?

We are trying to make a rain gage of LEGO pieces.

Will it float?

Can we put it at one end of a lever and use the other end to indication amount of rain?

Build and try out.

Now fill to 1 cm.

Mark where the end of the lever points.

Continue calibrating

and marking on the scale


Now that we have all the marks for 1 through 5 cm we will make a nice looking scale.

Next Week we will try to make a weather vane to show wind direction.
