WA: Earth Science

The kids started the weather unit, Chapters 7-11.  They finally had time to look at their crystals they grew, and began fun weather activites, such as making clouds.  The class is interested in developing weather-related activities for the younger students.  For instance, the kids can do the cloud demo, explain how clouds form, distribute cloud charts, and go outside to identify clouds with the little ones.  We will use  GLOBE Training Modules in class next week along with an introduction to weather, forecasting, instruments, etc.  Here are some resources for the students' science fair projects. Intel Science Fair Overview, Resources, Rules, which we will discuss in class.
