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.

hey! website is started..lets get her goin!

collaborative podcast

ok girls, we need to get started on our podcast that's due this sunday. what does everyone want to talk about? we have to pull 2 ideas from the text to discuss as well. i'm not sure if it needs to be 1 to 2 minutes per person or just total. anyway, i'd like to get rolling on this cuz i don't have much time later in the week. thanks guys!

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.

ok guys so my thing already expired so to actually fix this one, one of you guys will need to do it. but just so it's done to get the points i think we need to have data collection branched off of observations too...plus add on like for mine ways that it could be observed. like off of clouds for data collection i could have cloud cover and height. what are you thinkin?

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.

hey guys! for the moviemaker i'm going to do clouds again. if i can ever figure out how to work the thing haha

Hello! Just checking in :)
anyone else having trouble opening the powerpoint?

ePals and Google Map

Hi girls! I was brainstorming ideas for our ePals assignment. We could compare climates with another group of students in Africa, or Europe or any other country really just as long as it's a different kind of climate than our own. Let me know if you guys have any ideas, I have to work all day tomorrow and on sunday. But I'll try to get on tonight and again Sunday night to make sure everything is done.
Thanks!

Web Sites

I was just thinking about the web sites we will have to evaluate. I think we should use a couple different weather ones. such as weatherchannel.com, or accuweather. We may want to use a website that defines different terms of weather. We could also have a couple websites about the different climates and cloud types. Let me know what you girls think. Thanks!

Concept Map

Has anyone downloaded the inspiration yet or the other to start the concept map? Our Prof. says not to all do it at once since it is only a 30 day trial.....let me know!

Hello everyone! Post back so we can make sure everyone is on here and good to go :]
