One of key goals of contemporary physics (and, realistically, STEM) education is to develop students’ science literacy and critical thinking skills. In this paper, we present the construction and use of several versions of a simple school-based digital weather station that students can use to measure fundamental physical quantities (temperature, pressure, air humidity, light intensity) as part of school activities. The weather stations were constructed at our workplace using an Arduino microcontroller, BBC micro: bit, and the school measurement system Coach. This paper proposes not only the design and related programming of the weather stations but also how students can collect, analyse, and interpret measured data, thereby learning scientific methods and developing science literacy and critical thinking. This hands-on approach also develops students’ experimental skills, emphasises the cross-curricular relationships between physics, computer science and geography, and teaches them to work with accurate data in the context of real environmental problems.
