Lessons 1,2 and 3

Today we covered 3 lessons! Lesson 1 covered the basics. Weather is the state of the atmosphere in a region over a short period of time. Weather is the result of the interaction among earth, the atmosphere, water, and the sun. It refers to clouds, winds, temperature, and rainfall or snowfall. Jet stream is high level winds in the upper atmosphere. Fronts: there are warm and cold fronts. These are some important vocab words for you! Lesson 2 covered more in depth about how meteorologist's measure rainfall. For example, they use a rain gauge that properly distributes rain in a manner that is easy to measure. Whereas, a ruler for example, would not be a good way to measure it. Lesson 2 also talks about proportional aspects. For example, the number of stairs on a staircase to the height of it. Lesson 3 covered more math based measurements for rainfall. We got a chart for density and volume etc. For example, density = mass decided by volume. Lastly! Something important to know is when a substance changes phases, the density changes.
