  1. Weather By: Graeme & Virgil

  2. Water Cycle To begin, rain falls from the cloud and lands in puddles and lakes goes up into the clouds as a material called, ‘Water Vapor.’ Now its cloud time! The water vapor flies around until it joins a cloud. Also, while its in the cloud the vapor turns to snow because up that high it is REALLY Cold! Finally, the condensation is too heavy for the cloud and it falls and the atmosphere melts the snow to rain and then it lands in puddles and lakes. Then it starts all over again.

  3. Weather Tools Wind Vane: Measures wind and what direction it is going. Thermometer : Measures Temperature and hot and cold. Barometer : Measures atmospheric pressure and inches in mercury Rain gauge : Measures how much rain fell and with added steps, liquid equivalent of snow Anemometer : Anemometer measures velocity and wind force. Snow Gauge : Measures the amount of fallen solid precipitation

  4. How to make : Barometer Have your materials ready : jar, balloon, rubber band, tape, and straw. To start blow the balloon up and let go to loosen it. And then cut it in half across. Then, use the rubber band to lock the balloon to the top of the jar. Finally tape the straw to the top of the balloon. To measure this, The higher the straw, the more the pressure, the lower, the less the pressure.

  5. How to make a Anemometer Materials: 1 paper plate, 5 dixi cups, stapler, stick (strong twig) and a pushpin. To begin, staple cups to paper plate facing all the same way with 1 cup marked so you know to count how many time it spins. Then, attach the stick to the plate with pushpin, but loose enough so it can spin. Finally, punch a hole in the last cup and put the stick inside so it can stand up. To measure, Count how many time it spins around and how many times it spins is how much miles per hour.

  6. Clouds • Cirrus : Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy and form at a average of 20,000 feet. • Stratus : Stratus clouds can usually cover the whole sky and never rain, but may drizzle. Altostratus : usually covers the whole sky and the sun and moon can shine through but will always appear fizzy.

  7. Nor’ Easters AKA: Northern Easters North Easters are a Blizzardish Hurricane with a battle of hot and cold air inside of the storm. North Easters have caused some of the biggest snowfalls in history. For instance, in 1888 It dropped 40-50 inches of snow on DC.Also, in 1991, the Halloween storm damaged over 1000 houses from Maine to the Carolinas. And, in 1962, It battered most of the Northern coastline with Rain, Snow, Sleet and flooding for 5 days. Northern Easters get its name from its continuously flying and strong winds in a northeasterly fashion over the ocean and into the coastal areas like in places of Boston and New York. People can prepare for this cyclone by getting as far away as can, or get in a underground shelter (NOT A BASEMENT!) So it seems like Nor’ Easters are really similar to its brother, the hurricane.
