Science these past few weeks....

We have been learning so much about weather and climate these past couple of weeks.  The students were able to go out to the weather station and play the part of a meteorologist, by checking the conditions of the atmosphere at our weather station!!!  They used and anemometer, wind sock and compass, thermometer, and a barometer.  We talked about predicting weather patterns and how warm and cold fronts affect the atmosphere and how our daily weather will change.  Here are some links that the students enjoyed using in class ;)
