CANDAC Student-Researchers Atmospheric Collaboration

CANDAC (Canadian Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Change) researchers have teamed up with students and staff at schools in Ontario and Nunavut to launch a new project that encourages young people to become active researchers who monitor atmospheric conditions using scientific instruments at their school. Researchers and students work together to gather, compare and analyse data to better understand the current state of Earth's dynamic atmosphere.

Mr. Au Yong's Grade 3s at Ease with the Anemometer

Grade 3 students have enjoyed using the weather reading tools and making measurements. We can now all pronounce "anemometer" with ease! We have experienced extremes in temperature here in Newmarket, Ontario and now look forward to some genuinely warm spring days with many more hours of sunshine.

Thanks for sharing your weather report and photos grade 3s! It looks like you have become experts with the anemometer, windsock, and compass! Do you have any tips for using the instruments?
