At natural study lessons the school students receive an interesting and responsible task - to keep a diary of observations of weather from the teacher. Within several months the pupils bring in a special notebook all natural phenomena - a rain, a hail, snow and also fix temperature and the direction of wind.
For filling of the diary of weather the school student needs a notebook in a section - it and multi-colored pencils or felt-tip pens will become the diary. It is possible to use also gel pens. It is also necessary to prepare the calendar, a ruler, the street thermometer, a barometer for measurement of atmospheric pressure.
That the diary was beautiful and colourful, it is possible to cut out from magazines of the picture with the image of seasons and also various natural phenomena. Big pictures are pasted on a cover, and small - between months and in corners of pages.
The diary of observations of the nature on a cover needs to be signed, having entered a surname, the name and a class.
The squared paper sheet needs to be lined on days and months. The name of month is written from above pages, and dates - at the left or on the right. Equal lines into which indicators for every day will fit will turn out. These lines share once again - down. Above columns, names of the natural phenomena - the air temperature, the direction of wind, pressure, precipitation are written.
Data are entered in each section by means of conventional signs. Values of air temperature and atmospheric pressure are described by figures of three flowers - blue, black and red. The blue pencil or a felt-tip pen is used at subzero temperatures and pressure below norm. Red - at positive indications of the thermometer and elevated pressure. Black - with a normal pressure. The direction and wind force are designated by arrows. A north - an arrow up, southern - down, east - to the right, western - to the left. Wind force is shown strips on the end of arrows. Three strips - very strong wind, two strips - average, one strip - weak. The weather phenomena also have symbols. Clear day is drawn in the form of the sun, the partly cloudy - is designated by the circle which is painted over half, clouds - a dark circle. Snow - a snowflake, a rain - a drop, a thunderstorm - a lightning.
If a diary of observations of weather is kept in the computer, then it is not obligatory to unpack it on the color printer. It is possible to use usual, black-and-white, and then it is beautiful to decorate all data with felt-tip pens.
Are observed weather daily. It is the best of all to fix the natural phenomena in the afternoon. In the dark it is possible not to make out a drizzle or a drizzle. It is necessary to enter indications of devices in sections - a barometer and the thermometer, and to write down precipitation proceeding from own observations. At the end of every month the result how many was sunny days, how many cloudy when snow dropped out or thawed is summed up. That the diary was more colourful, all weather changes which happened in a month can be drawn. Or to paste the beautiful pictures which are cut out from newspapers and magazines. The diary of weather will be more beautiful if to make it in a sketchbook. But in this case it is necessary to line very accurately blank sheets on cages. It is possible to keep a diary and in the computer. In the Word program to create the table and to enter there data. In the Insert tab, in the subsection "Figures" there will be all symbols - shooters, the sun, circles, clouds, etc.
