Fourth grade spent the first semester studying weather factors and hazards, a new unit from PLTW. After learning how day length and the amount of direct sunlight we receive changes because of our orbit, students listed precipitation / temperature / wind as the three main weather factors, studied different climates around the club, researched different hazardous weather conditions, and then created their own narrative and solution to a weather-related engineering problem (seen below without context), the whole time recording the data during different seasons.
