Weather App Project 1/22/14

This Week’s Science Class in a Glance:

This week we are working on a Weather App Project using a class set of Ipads. We will also be starting Chapter 9 Changes to Earth’s Surface as we finish our weather project this week. Be sure not to forget — our Tornado in a Bottle Projects are due on Friday. We will have a demonstration time on Friday for the kids to share in groups!! 🙂

I found our Weather App project we are completing this week on Pinterest and I absolutely LOVED it!! You can find it here. I adapted it to fit our classes time frame and knowledge. Students picked from three groups of cities (The South, The East, or the Midwest.) In groups, students looked up the current temperature for each city on their Ipad. Afterwards, they completed the math problems using their temperatures. For example, one question asked them to put the temperatures in order from coldest to warmest.

I thought this would be a great finale to our Weather Unit, and it would also allow the students to use technology while integrating another content area — Math!!

I am hoping to find some other projects for our students to do using the Ipads this year in Science .. They were SO excited!!

Let’s Have a Great Week!!
