Access to the "blog" is blocked from school, so I am enering my students' responses from home.
2. In your opinion, what was the most important thing you learned from this event?
The most important thing my students learned came from listening to the other students share experiences with tornados and severe weather. Listening to each student describe the tornados Kansas and the other states have experienced this spring was an eye-opener for my students.
3. What are some facts you can compile about weather?
(I didn't share the mean, median,and mode with my students!)
My students calculated the mean, median and mode and were surprised to see our average temperature for the month - 51 F.
We all assumed April would be unusually hot because we ended the month of March with an 80 F heat wave. Most students expected Spring, but we actually had snow flurries and freezing rain a few days.
I have four classes, and each class recorded the weather. It was interesting to see the differences in temperature between each class.
