For the next few weeks we will begin looking closely at the weather. What a perfect time to start observing winter weather after our storm on Wednesday. Our meteorologist has started checking the weather each day this week and we have been discussing how the weather changes over time. We compared the weather to when we first came to school and were sweltering in the heat, how it started getting cooler during the fall and now in winter it is snowing and icicles are forming everywhere. We will start to collect, record, and analyze data we take on the weather and observe the changes it goes through over the course of the rest of the year. We also learned what a thermometer is and talked about how it tells us the temperature outside. Our meteorologist will start checking a weather website on the computer to tell us the temperature each day along with what they observe in the sky outside.
