The document outlines a project for students to help their community prevent flooding from heavy rainfall. The students will: 1) Research precipitation and weather instruments to measure rainfall. 2) Build homemade rain gauges to collect data over 2 months. 3) Create graphs and reports to analyze rainfall data and compare to official forecasts. 4) Develop presentations raising awareness of rainfall risks using PowerPoint and Photostory. The goal is for students to understand rainfall dangers and help their community prepare for flooding.
