| Hey there, welcome back to another Science Saturday! Many animals can sense storms coming long before they arrive, but did you know that plant life can also “predict” the weather? Pine cones can hint at the air’s humidity and our How to Make a Pinecone Hygrometer project shows you how. |
|
| Learn how moisture causes the scales of a pine cone to swell and close, and how drying them causes the scales to open back up, revealing the seeds. This experiment is a fun way to learn how the natural world reacts to environmental changes like humidity to survive, deepening your kids' appreciation for the intricacies of nature. |
|
| Don’t forget to share photos of your pinecone hygrometer and share them with us on Instagram @homesciencetools – we’d love to see your results! The Home Science Tools Team |
