Hosted from Elimbah, Queensland Australia. The activity is related to the 'weather recording' component of the project. The activity I have devised is a maths activity that uses this weather data to compare the weather conditions between schools worldwide. At the end of each week, students print out the weather recordings of a particular school as well as their own school recordings. This can be done through a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel.
Students then compare their own recordings with the data collected from the partner school.
The student assigned to the computer for each day of the week is in charge of getting and posting the weather data, sending it out to the list, and reporting incoming data for the schools we are tracking. Each student is keeping a chart of the data for comparison graphing purposes. This activity involves collecting and recording data. Using the constructed weather instruments students will measure weather climates and conditions. Weather conditions and measurements will be sent to the partner school for discussion and comparison.
