The Educational Value of Campus Weather Stations

In our current school education, the Campus Weather Station is a very important part. It provides a hands-on space for science classes, allowing students to apply their textbook knowledge in practice, and also helps monitor the campus environment. Simply put, the main job of the weather station is to keep an eye on the weather conditions in the campus at all times, such as whether the temperature is too cold or too hot, whether the air is humid, which direction the wind is blowing and how strong it is, how intense the sunlight is, how high the air pressure is, and how much rain has fallen. It can clearly record all of these.

With the data collected by the weather station, there are many benefits for students. It can spark their interest in technology, and in their spare time, they can observe the weather more, applying the knowledge they learned in geography classes to actual weather observation, rather than just memorizing facts. Moreover, after the Campus Weather Station is established, it is particularly meaningful for the school. It can help the school better teach students how to prevent meteorological disasters and how to cope with climate change, allowing students to learn practical meteorological knowledge, develop awareness of disaster prevention and reduction, and guide them to practice a low-carbon lifestyle in their daily lives, enhancing their ability to cope with climate change and helping students grow well.

The Campus Weather Station consists of a series of meteorological monitoring equipment, including thermometers, hygrometers, anemometers and wind vanes, barometers, and rain gauges. These devices work together to provide comprehensive weather information. The Campus Weather Station system typically consists of sensors, poles, equipment boxes, data loggers, and a cloud platform. Sensors are the core components of the observation station, used to perceive and measure various meteorological parameters. An equipped LED display screen can show meteorological data in real time, making it convenient for teachers and students to understand the current campus weather conditions. Meteorological data can also be viewed and managed through Android/iOS mobile apps, computer web pages, or software cloud platforms. The cloud platform supports data visualization, including charts and curves, making it convenient for users to analyze data.

The Campus Weather Station provides students with a practical platform to get close to nature and explore meteorology. Students can operate instruments and record data with their own hands, deepening their understanding of meteorological principles. The school regularly organizes visits, allowing students to experience the observation process firsthand, which can not only exercise their hands-on skills but also cultivate their spirit of scientific exploration.

It monitors the campus weather in real time, helping with the school's environment, safety management, and planning. Analyzing long-term data can help the school grasp climate trends, providing support for campus environment and planning.
