Description: Contains several activities to see how rain gauges work.
The rain gauge measures the amount of liquid precipitation that falls.  It can measure either rain or, with added steps, the liquid equivalent of snow.  The rain gauge has an outer cylinder, a measuring tube, and a funnel.  The measuring tube measures to a hundredth inch.  When it is full, it contains one inch of rain.  When more than an inch falls, the extra flows into the outer cylinder.  By carefully pouring the rain from the outer cylinder back into the measuring tube, a total rainfall amount can be accurately measured.
