Class this week: We are continuing to collect daily weather data from Raleigh, NYC, and Sao Paulo. Students are analyzing the data for patterns and comparing and contrasting the data at different latitudes and in the N and S hemispheres. We will also do two hands on activities that model the Coriolis Effect and why it is colder in the polar regions and hotter at the equator.
