Being able to see a working weather station will be very exciting for my students. The anemometer at work will show them just how important it is to track weather. When students are able to create and design their own projects, they become confident in their learning. Having tools like the "Cropadile" in my classroom will help students' work come to life with their imagination and creativity. The triple beam balance scale is something that my students have never seen before. I think it will be a great resource to have in the classroom to weigh and measure different objects. I love doing Project Based Learning and often times there will be criteria for the students to follow. Some of this criteria requires students to weight their project to meet it. This scale will prove to be very beneficial to our PBLs!
