Welcome back from the last weekend before February break! We've got three main things going on this week - finishing up the Weather & Climate Independent Study, creating some rules to help us predict the weather, & Google Site preparations and presentations.
The last in-class day for Independent Study work is today. You'll finish collecting & analyzing data/examples that show how your independent variable has an effect on your dependent variable. For example, the amount of air pressure has an effect on the wind speed of a tornado. Graded check-ins for this last independent study assignment can happen today, Tuesday, & Wednesday this week. Tomorrow & Wednesday, we'll using data from the location of your Precipitation Screencast (Assignment #2 on the playlist) to create some rules to help us predict the weather anywhere around the world. On Friday, you will be presenting down in the library. You are welcome to present anything you've posted on your Google Site this year. You may present your whole Google Site or just parts of it, but you must present at least TWO THINGS you've posted for science. It's extremely important that you understand and can explain the scientific ideas you are presenting on, so that when you are asked questions you feel confident answering them. We will be doing preparations & practice for presentations on Thursday. You are welcome to present with one other person if you did a project with them. Have a great week and please let me know if you have questions along the way. Stay curious and keep looking for answers! -Mr Bowles Comments are closed.
