Final Concept Map

J/K finally figured out how to add this image...
For our final concept map we decided that discussing different types of weather such as tornadoes, precipitation, lightning and clouds are important to share along with the effects of weather. Along with those ideas we also thought that tracking weather such as clouds, precipitation and the students favorite type of weather is great for students to take part in.

Revised Concept Map

We noticed that observations and data collection need to be linked. Also, for clouds, you could note their height, and appearance. Precipitation can be expanded to amount and type. Temperature could be recorded in Celcius or Farenheit. Snow fall can be moved under precipitation. Wind can be recorded by speeds, and direction. Sun can be removed since it is involved in the temperature and cloud cover. Climate can become it's own idea off of weather. There are many different climates that can branch off of weather.

Alright ladies. I just did my LP2. I did it on cloud and cloud cover etc. etc. I used excel and they can create their own topic about clouds or characteristic to organize their data as well as create their own graph. I want this weekend free haha.
