Welcome back from a beautiful weekend (minus a little bit of rain). To kick start the Weather & Climate Independent Study we will continue our work on Monday & Friday this week to really get a chance to find some answers to those questions.
We've been invited to Dr. Pohlman's class for a gallery walk of work on her student's most recent project. Originally this was scheduled for Monday, but it has now been rescheduled for Tuesday because Dr. Pohlman is out sick today. So, can you predict the weather? Even meteorologists (weather professionals) have a tough time answering this - sometimes they get it right, sometimes they don't. But they do look for specific data and patterns in the movement of air pressure systems to help guide their decisions. This week and next, you'll be learning some of the strategies meteorologists use to predict the weather and will be figuring out why some of the strongest hurricanes (in recent history) behaved in the way that they did. Stay curious and keep looking for answers! -Mr. Bowles Business: * After school help is available Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday this week * Submit your Independent Study question today - see Google Classroom for details Comments are closed.
