weather monitoring 1

Hi group!
Did anyone get feedback on their lesson plans yet? Did it show up when you opened up your lesson plan on taskstream, because I don't see anything on mine. I thought that it would show up right on it? I am still contemplating on doing clouds for my movie maker looking at other options, but haven't found anything that interesting to put into a slide show.

Hey girls! I just wanted to let you know that I am doing my windows movie maker assignment on the water cycle. I am using a cartoon water droplet named Waldo and he will be going on a trip to end up in a different body of water. Let me know if you have any good ideas...good luck with your project!

Hi!

Hope your week went well! My lesson plan was on clouds which included the class splitting up into groups and working on researching a particular cloud that was assigned to them. Researching, creating a visual aide and presenting. In a nut shell. I've been looking for topics and branch offs for our inspiration map also, which is due on the 12th. If you have any questions or anything else, let me know! Have a nice weekend.

Hey girls! I just finished my lesson plan. I did the reason for seasons. I explained that by this point in the unit our class has started to work on their city project and has just picked a location and climate type. My lesson helps them understand the season's that their particular climate has. At the end they use a globe and a flashlight to demonstrate their reasoning to the class. This is also the opportunity to tell the class where their city is located.

let me know if you have any questions!

Reminder

Hey guys, just a reminder that my lesson will be focusing mainly on starting the students on their daily weather journals along with having them choose and research a city/state, of interest to them and present a power point on the current weather occurring there! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns let me know. : )

Hi, this is geared towards katie's quest. I think that it would be good to include the Koppenhagen types and expecially the seasons. I also think it's important to do something on the heat index and wind chill, they could graph it daily to see how it changes, the wind chill has an impact on them because in the winter it determines if they get to go outside for recess or not. Along with those I think it might be good to do something on daily recording's on snowfall and rainfall, just a thought. I was also thinking that we should include storms to our concept map; what kinds, how they form, types of weather alerts, etc. I know our revision of our concept map is due I think something like March 12, I can do the next one, if that's ok.

I think our concept map looks really good. Under climate maybe we should have koppenhagen types and seasons. do you think that heat index and wind chill should be in our daily checks? or is that too advanced for our age group.

For our google doc assignment and google map assignment from today I had an idea on what the map could be used for. Looking at where the weather stations are, the students could see how where the weather stations are located affects the different readings. This could tie into lake effect snow for example.
