Now that we have learned what weather is and got an introduction into what meteorologists do, let's take some time to become weather watchers!
Task 1: Check your answers from yesterday's matching assignment:
Task 2: Start a weather journal!
Guidelines:
- Please actually go outside for at least 10-15 minutes.
- Record everything you observe about the weather. This could include:
- Temperature
- Wind speed and direction
- Types of clouds you see
- If it's raining or sunny or anything in between
- Humidity and air pressure
- How the weather has changed throughout the day
- You are encouraged to use tools and technology.
- If your family has a thermometer or barometer, use them to help you record temperature!
- Weather apps are great and THIS WEBSITE from the National Weather Service could be a great resource.
- The compass on your phone could help you describe the direction of clouds or where the wind is coming from.
- You can set up your weather journal in a way that makes sense to you. A few examples are below.
- Both words and pictures are encouraged!
- Writing observations, questions and predictions are GREAT!
Please send Ms. Dolan a picture of your weather journal: adolan@hccs481.org or ms.dolans_science
