Thinking about the Weather

Start researching the weather...

1. Define weather using a book from the library:
(a) "quote information from the book", and then
(b) write this in your own words.

2. Research the tornado in America.

• http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/science/topics/tornadoes/index.html

OR if that doesn't interest you choose one of the following topics do some web research:

• What is the role of a meteorologist?  What are the different parts to the job of a meteorologist and what skills do they need to have.
• Define the term `climate’.  Research some causes of climate change and the potential impact on Australia.
• Research the El Nino and La Nina or Greenhouse effect and its potential impact on Australia. Present your information on a poster or brochure.
• Come up with another weather topic (ask Ms. Humphries first)
