Enhancing building geography practices based on campus weather stations

Practical activities in geography are crucial to improving students' geographic literacy, as they enable students to apply geographic principles in practice and enhance their understanding of geographic knowledge. However, some schools and teachers still focus on traditional theoretical teaching and neglect the importance of practical activities, which limits the development of students' practical abilities.

Geography, as a key subject in basic education, covers not only the natural sciences but also integrates the humanities, focusing on the study of the geographical environment and its interaction with people. The practical nature of this subject emphasizes that teaching and learning activities should not be confined to the classroom, but should be extended to the outdoors so that students can experience and participate in social practices.

Many schools have installed fully automated school weather stations. It not only provides a practical platform for teaching geography in schools, but also creates favorable conditions for cultivating students' practical ability in geography.

On this basis, schools set up geography clubs with geography enthusiasts as the main body, and set up a weather station management group composed of students who are passionate about geography. This group is responsible for the daily management and maintenance of the weather station, and also participates in various geography practice activities, such as data collection and weather analysis, so as to deepen the understanding of geography knowledge in practice.

FT-XQ4 is a research-grade meteorological monitoring device designed for educational environments by Fengtu. It mainly transmits data wirelessly through GPRS, or you can choose the wired transmission method, or you can use utility power as the power source. Equipped with a 2m*1m LED screen, it can clearly display the monitoring data. Its hardware composition includes sensor, riser bracket, equipment box, LED screen, collector, cloud platform, fiberglass shutter box (containing dry and wet bulb thermometer), sunshine meter and PVC material fence. It can store no less than 500,000 pieces of data, with a power consumption of 202W. The manufacturer has ISO quality management system, environmental management system and occupational health management system certifications, as well as a computer software registration certificate, and is a 3A grade credit enterprise.

The campus weather station provides convenient remote monitoring and management functions. Users can access it directly via cell phone or computer without installing any software. The platform allows multiple users and devices to log in at the same time to view real-time data and historical records. It also features data storage, SMS alerts, threshold setting, map positioning, curve analysis and data export, making the monitoring and analysis of weather data more efficient and intuitive.
