Chapter 3 Science Test and Unit 4 Math Test

Parents,

I have never seen students so excited to work on science projects! They have been creating PowerPoint presentations, digital stories, Flipcharts (whiteboard technology), making posters and brochures to show what they learned about storms. Ask them to share their creations with you.

This Friday, there will be the chapter 3 test in Weather. On Wednesday and Thursday students will be studying for this test by reviewing these terms and concepts.
1.    Terms:
Weather satellites    cumulus clouds    stratus clouds        cirrus clouds
Weather forecaster     air mass        front            cold front
Warm front        thunderstorm        flash flood        hurricanes    tornadoes
2.    Know the cloud types and what the weather will be for each type
3.    Explain the 3 types of information brought to us by weather satellites
4.    Understand the major storms, how they form, and story safety
5.    Use a weather map to predict weather.

As always, you help at 11:40- 12:10 daily to work with students on math facts is appreciated.

* There will be a math test on unit 4 Tuesday November 22rd. A study guide will be provided soon.
