Original Grant Overview
Goal
The goal is to familiarize my students with weather tools in order to empower them to analyze and predict weather patterns locally.
What will be done with my students
Students will have DAILY direct access to monitor school weather conditions on a digital screen to measure rainfall, wind speed/direction, temperature, air pressure, humidity, UV and solar radiation. We will work our daily measuremmnts into the 6th grade currcium, which inlcude undersdtanding the Earth's atmosphere, weather patterns as well as graphing and mapping analysis.
Benefits to my students
Learning to predict weather will empower my students with information that they can utilize to reduce weather-related losses and even enhance societal benefits, such as protection of life and property, public health and overall safety. Students will learn to make informed choices based on weather patterns and connections.
The study of the weather in these early years is important because it can help students understand that some events in nature have a repeating pattern. It also is important for students to study the earth repeatedly because they take years to acquire the knowledge that they need to complete the picture.
