Most weather units are taught in schools as just that\u2014<\/span>a unit, taught during a specified time frame during the school year. The activities shared here have been created as a complement to a weather unit, building a routine of contributing precipitation data to CoCoRaHS, a participatory science project, throughout the entire school year. The yearlong progression of activities designed to accompany this ongoing data collection is not meant to replace a teacher\u2019s weather unit, but rather enrich it and deepen students\u2019 understanding of patterns in weather data.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#engagement” button_text=”View Monthly engagements” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#89cea4″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”10px” button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”|700||on|||||” custom_padding=”14px|34px|14px|34px|true|true” animation_style=”zoom” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_vertical=”10px” box_shadow_blur=”30px” box_shadow_color=”#caf2e3″ button_letter_spacing_hover=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_letter_spacing__hover=”1px” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ max_width=”1280px” border_color_all=”#338BC8″ use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”1280px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”-4px||12px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For more information regarding the [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yHmz5IyjV80″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”88.3%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”82px” custom_margin=”1px|||||” custom_padding=”5px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px|||||” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For information regarding how CoCoRaHS started and a brief overview of measuring different types of precipitation, refer to the following video (also linked in the media guide<\/a>): <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JkpVadNRAyQ” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”-22px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Getting Started” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ text_font=”EB Garamond|700|||||||” text_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.05)” text_font_size=”80px” text_line_height=”0em” header_2_font=”EB Garamond||||||||” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” text_orientation=”center” text_font_size_tablet=”50px” text_font_size_phone=”30px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_2_font_size_phone=”30px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n CoCoRaHS<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The following information is provided to help you consider the logistics of placing a rain gauge in your schoolyard, as well as how to begin data collection.
