"Weather or Not"

What an awesome program today from High Touch High Tech.  We had so much fun being scientists that I forgot to take pictures. Sorry.  Hopefully your children have told you all about it.  We learned about air pressure and what happens with high pressure meets low pressure.  We learned about condensation and how clouds form. We even made a cloud appear in our classroom.  We learned about lightening and explored static electricity.  Touching a lightening ball even made some children's' shoes light up.  Pretty cool!

We will continue learning about weather during science.  This week we will be observing clouds and learning about the different cloud types.  Next week we will be learning about wind speed and wind direction.  If you have a chance to watch a weather report on t.v. with your child, please do.  It will help   them with our weather vocabulary such as "fahrenheit", "meteorologist" and "air pressure".
