Weather unit and check in

Greetings families!

We are in the midst of our unit on Weather. Hopefully, your child has been discussing weather and checking in each evening and recording the data for their chosen city.

We just finished an intro on air. The focus was on the idea of testing . Two characteristics of air that we discovered were that air takes up space and has mass.

A quiz was given last week and sent home today.
Their homework tonight is to share this with you.

We are now moving into air pressure and testing it. We have built barometers and are reading about them and changes in air pressure. This leads to isobars and wind.

We will check for understanding later this week on these concepts.

Thanks for your support at home!
Please take the time to call your children in if the TV is on and the weather forecast is on.

Have a great afternoon.
Ms.Tuttle
