Rain Gauge
Recycled Plastic Bottle Rain Gauge
Here's how to make this type of rain gauge:
Materials:
- Plastic Bottle
- Scissors
- Marker/Tape
- Ruler
Procedure:
- Take a plastic bottle, cut off the top at the widest point.
- The top is inverted and placed inside the bottom of the bottle, with the two cut edges flush.
- Find your baseline, where the bottom end of the bottle comes to a consistent circumference, and mark your baseline. You will fill the bottom with water to the baseline, because most bottles have irregular corrugation towards the bottom of the bottle.
- Measure and mark centimeter increments up the side of the bottle.
- Fill the bottom with water to the baseline.
- Place somewhere with full exposure to precipitation, with support to prevent it getting jostled or blown over.
Barometer
- Research and development underway.
