Project Presentation

Hey Tina! We had to pick our time today that we want to present our final project during exam week. We decided we might as well do it Monday to get it out of the way if that is ok with you. We requested anytime around 2, to 3. Let us know if this does not work out with your exam schedule.

Finals

Hey, today we started working on our final project and I think that this is gonna be really great and will be the perfect wrap up to our weather monitoring section. I already started thinking of website names such as, The Wacky Weather Wizards. and Weather Is Us. : ) Let me know if you guys come up with any more ideas about the project in general.

weather

Hi, yeah I think it would be great to add a brochure or something like that; if we have room to fit it in. If I get time soon I am going to do the last concept map on inspiration, so then that's out of the way. If there is anything you guys want to add to it just let me know or else I will add what I have. See you Mon.

Hey guys, I was thinking we should add a postcard and a brochure somewhere into our project. This would be a good way to cater to students who are artistically talented. This would also be a good way for them to create a culture and lifestyle of the people who live in their city!

Re. Excel projects

Hi just read your blogs and looks like you guys are doing the same thing? (temp.) Just a heads up!

Excel project

As you already know my lesson is going to be on graphing on which days are sunny, rainy, snowing, etc. but instead of just having them do it based on the weather where they live, I am instead having them do it on each a different state or city to mix it up a little instead of having them all tracking the same exact weather. Also, having them keep track of this in a journal over a months period of time. Have a great weekend! Two more lectures to go!

Excel Project

Hey girls! I just wanted to let you know I changed my lesson plan for this project. Instead of the season survey I am doing a graph of the average yearly temperature in different cities around the world. this way they will have some sort of idea where they want their imaginary city to be for their project!

Lesson Plan

Hello group, I wanted to let you know that I have decided on a lesson plan for this week and I wanted to let you all know that I will be doing a lesson plan on having the students record the temperature rise and fall throughout the day, and at the end they will ultimately show this information on a graph, that will show the rise and fall of the temperature.

Excel Assignment

For my excel assigment I am going to do the class's favorite seasons. I am going to ask two classes for data (Summer, Spring, Winter, Fall, or No preferance). We can later use this to see if this affects the groups "imaginary cities" for their project.

Re. Lesson plan 2

Hi, For lesson plan 2 I am going to do my on data collection on weather including how many days it is sunny, cloudy, etc. We just need to know who's lesson will fall first out the three of ours. Because the person who's lesson plan will be first will have to include "teaching excel to the students and the other two will just review the use of it.
Thanks, see you next week!

Concept Map 2




here is our updated concept map! I couldn't get our original one so some of the pictures are different. Let me know what you think!

Spring Break

Hey everyone, I just got back from vacation and did not have access to the Internet, so I apologize first off for that. Secondly, I wanted to bring up that I have decided to do my movie on Tornado's and their details. If anyone has questions about this or concerns, please let me know.
