Rain Gauge Design Challenge
by Kimberly Roach
In Arizona, rain a major component of the water cycle, is a precious and vital. Students will gain an understanding of the three phase of watrer on the earth: solid, liquid and gas and the four stages of the water cycle. In small groups, students will then participate in a hands on experience rain gauge design challenge.
