Weather

We have been studying "Weather Instruments" in science this fall. While some people might think that this is a rather dry (yep, I meant that as a pun) subject for third graders, boy, oh boy did they get into it. We started each day checking out the NOAA weather conditions, and the forecast for the Missoula area. We would then graph this information. We learned about barometers, thermometers, Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures, cloud types, wind speed and weather extremes. As an ending activity some of the kids made their own weather forecasts in conjunction with the story Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. I will try to post these, they are pretty darn cute!!!
