  1. Homemade Weather Station

    Pine cones open and close depending on the humidity to help seed dispersal. Inside the pinecone, there are lots of feather light seeds. When the weather is dry the pine cone opens up, and any wind will catch the seeds and allow them to be dispersed in the air far away from the original tree. When the humidity rises, and rain is likely, then the ...
