The Weather Tracker Application allows students to collect weather data in order to upload to the Aecern discovery hub for further opportunity to analyze and recognize weather patterns in their community. This application and the Aecern Discovery Hub will make all students in a learning community able to share, publish their data collected. Students will collect air temperature, air pressure, wind direction, wind speed, wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures to determine relative humidity, observe the type of clouds and amount of cloud cover, as well as precipitation. Students will take a picture of their location of data collection and cloud cover. Finally, all will be reported with the accurate latitude and longitude location of data collection.
