Friday, 4.16
Today in class:
Opportunity to buy an A in this course using rice; details in class.
a few questions were added to the review sheet
Also good to review are the answers to the meteorology packet questions; these were all reviewed in detail after they were graded to make sure you could correct your answers.

Meteorology Test postponed to Monday
Climate change notes today
And for 5th period, prompts following today's reading that you should be able to find evidence of in the article(s) about VORTEX:
1. How are tornadoes predicted in advance?
2. How much warning is possible before a tornado forms completely? (assuming best case scenario)
3. What are some limitations to studying tornadoes?
4. What things that we learned in class are also in the article (vocabulary, concepts, etc.)
5. What words were new that you think you can piece together to figure out?
6. Interesting/weird stuff you read about
7. Assuming 1mph = approx 2 km/h, about how fast are the wind speeds in a tornado (in MPH)?

Meteorology Practice Quiz
Today:
meteorology worksheets turned in.
We made some predictions (our own forecast) of wind and temperatures using this map, then checked against actual data.
We did a self quiz (see below)
We prepared for tomorrow (or next class's) Specific Heat Lab.
Tomorrow we'll have a lab on Specific Heat; you'll try to figure out a way to compare two objects' specific heats: Specific Heat describes how easy it is to heat up or cool down a certain material.
Next week we'll be having an exam over Meteorology! Begin studying now.
Suggestions:
Vocabulary from the chapter.
chapter reviews, red and blue sections. (see teacher's edition for answers!)
