Rotation #7
Lesson: Climatology Postcard
Date: October 10-21
4th Graders have been studying the difference between weather and climate with Ms. Rose in Science this term. They are learning that climate is what you expect to happen and weather is what's happening in the atmosphere now.
They spent time analyzing data from different cities and comparing the climate to Atlanta. They were to collect the data and decide whether or not they would like to stay in Atlanta, or leave to be in a new city and the reasons why.
