Class this week: New Unit!!! We have weather on our radar for the coming week, just in time to figure out the how and why of an arctic blast with plunging temperatures. It will be helpful (but not required) if your child has a weather app on their phone that includes atmospheric pressure and other weather details. In this unit, we will investigate the composition of the atmosphere and examine air quality causes and patterns before beginning our study of the factors that influence our daily weather patterns.
