Your Own Rain Gauge

Did you ever want to be like a meteorologist and measure rain? You can, and even in your home. This is a rain gauge, it measures rain. It can be made out of trash too.

Step 1: Cutting

Cut the bottle like the photo

Step 2: Measuring Tape

Using a ruler, measure the tape and write down marks of centimeters or inches.

Step 3: Almost Done...

Put the tape that is marked with measures on the side of the bottle, like the photograph.

Step 4: Done!

If you have a backyard, dig grass up, and place the rain gauge firmly. If you have a balcony, tape a piece of cardboard to the rain gauge to make sure it doesn't fall.
