Weather Impacts the World Around Us!
December 18, 2017 at 8:07 am
After working hard as Engineers it is time to dive back in to being Scientists as we explore the Impact of Weather in the world around us! Since Winter Break is right around the corner we are going to get started on this unit by conducting weather experiments this week! First will be to create a Tornado in a Jar. By observing this weather phenomenon we will get to understand how Tornados form. For most of our students they have never seen a Tornado, and it isn't weather we have to watch out for here in sunny San Diego. They will hypothesize about what will happen when we place all the materials in the jar, and build a conclusion after observing the experiment about the impact this weather could have on the land when it naturally occurs!
Then, we will get to conduct a Volcano in a Cup experiment that allows us to see how a volcano works while giving us an introduction to chemical reactions! By observing these natural phenomenons we are building our knowledge of different weather and geological features that impact the world around us!
Have a fun and safe Winter Break!
Keep Exploring,
Ms. Gillis
