Kestrel® Wind and Weather Instruments

Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters & Education (See more Kestrel applications)

When working in education, having reliable and correct information is of the utmost importance. That's why educators have been using Kestrel Meters in the classroom for years—they provide valuable data in life science classrooms, and are so durable that a one-time investment provides years of use.

With global warming and increased storm activity in the media spotlight in recent years, schools are looking for ways to educate kids about the weather. Kestrel Weather Meters are perfect for kids—easy to use, simple to understand and fun! Plus, they are accurate enough that teachers know kids are seeing real-world numbers that make sense.

Kathy Murphy of Ladue Middle School, St. Louis, MO, has kindly shared with us her lesson plans. Her 12-page workbook helps young students:

• learn to observe meteorological changes.
• monitor microecosystems.
• present their findings.
• use findings to predict future readings.
• and more!
