Weather

Weather affects everything we do. Build a weather person with a wind vane at its back. When the wind turns it on its spinning base, look at the compass you've embedded and know which direction the wind is coming from. Learn to look at clouds and cloud patterns. What do they mean?

Students will learn the importance of meteorology among other essentials such as how clouds are created, why does it rain, how does wind form, as well as the 4 cardinal directions, N, E, S,W and how the direction of the wind affects our weather.

Nearly everything we do is affected by the weather. So weather forecasting is a special science. To create a weather broadcast however, you need to gather data and interpret the meanings. Our Weather Station measures 1) temperature, 2) wind direction 3) wind speed 4) rainfall and describes cloud formations.
