    Today we Observed what estimate means and we learned about weather. Estimate means its not an exact measurement.

    I was very surprised in part II when I figured out that San Antonio had 13.2 inches of snow in the year of 1985 (January 12th 1985 that is to be exact)!!!!!!!

    I was fascinated that I didn't think San Antonio would have 13.2 inches of snow.

    I learned that when you are in the high pressure system it is calm and sun.ny.When you are in the low pressure system there will be stormy weather.

    I learned that the humidity level changes the amount of clouds (Humidity is the amount of moisture in the air).

    I learned that the cold front, and the warm front symbols are actually the front of the front.

    Today we observed the weather in Ohio,by predicting and then finding out if we were correct. We learned a few of the main reasons of different storms.

  15. AlizaMarch 9, 2015 at 1:17 PM

    I agree with Dylan, I also learned that. I also learned that high air pressure represents calm sunny day and, low air pressure represents stormy weather.

    Today we learned that low temperature at the poles and the equator with low humidity will make some nice weather! We had a lot of fun during this project!

    Today was filled with a whole lot of fun facts and quite a bit of learning too. My top two fun facts (though there were many good ones) would have to be that high pressure normally means fair weather,BEACH PARTY!!!! It was also cool that the equator, the poles,and humidity control the weather like weather masters. I really liked this web search it helped me learn a lot about weather it was also strait out fun, thanks Mrs.Blake for the fun task!

    I never knew that high pressure traveled clockwise. I also never knew low pressure traveled counter clockwise.

    I learned that a map shows the EDGE of a cold or warm front, not in the middle.

    I also never knew that high pressure went clockwise and that low pressure went counter clockwise. I also enjoyed playing the games. I really liked the one where you got to make weather. It was pretty cool to me. :)

    This was a fun web surf! I learned that warm air travels higher in the sky because the molecules in it are very light when moving around. So that means that cold air travels lower in the sky because the molecules are tightly packed together. Thanks, Mrs. Blake!

    I learned that humidity can change cloud level!
