Rain Gauge Design Challenge
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.

This STEAM lesson is ideal for Tucson/Pima County Middle School Students who can participate in the annual KIDStruction building contest but you can also duplicate many of the learning opportunities
In this unit, students will use their knowledge of weather and climate patterns to construct, place, and collect data from a rain gauge for one month. The beginning of the school year would be the
Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
