Students will be able to:
use information from hands-on activities, videos from the internet and classroom discussion to
-graph weather data.
-make weather station models for reported data.
The do now for Wednesday was to review the last mini assessment.
The do now for Thursday was to review the first mini assessment, as preparation for the upcoming quarterly assessment.
The do now for Friday was to work on the RAFT assigned on Wednesday.
Students watched BrainPops on clouds and humidity.
Students worked on using the weather data gathered for four days to write a RAFT. The role played is that of one of the gathered pieces of information: temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, cloud cover, precipitation, or wind direction/wind speed. The audience is the Campbell Drive Middle School population. The format is a letter and the topic is the conditions imposed over the four days and how it could/did impact the Campbell Drive family.
Students also received information on how to create weather station models for the data.
Since the Science Fair projects were due on Friday, no nightly home learning was assigned.
