Leven Clan- Maths Week Scotland

This week as part of Maths Week Scotland, Leven Clan became Meteorologists!

Through our IDL topic – Calderwood Clan Explorers we have been learning about water, where it comes from and what creatures live in and around the water. The questions that everyone wanted to know was.. “Why does it rain so much at Calderwood?”.

In answer to this question we have explored the water cycle and why and how weather differs in different areas around the globe. We then used our knowledge of measurement to create a rain gauge from recycled plastic bottles.

Next week we will collect data from our rain gauges to measure how many centimetres of rain fall there has been.
