Wild Weather
Today in Marigold and Blossom class we transformed into meteorologists and scientists to explore the world of wild weather. The day began with a dive into a variety of extreme weather phenomena, including: Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Blizzards, Snowstorms and Flash Floods. We then created and presented their own research on these powerful weather events, learning about how and why they form and the impact they have on communities. The most exciting part of the day was bringing the presentations to life with hands-on experiments. We used simple materials to simulate the complex forces of nature: Tornado in a Bottle: By swirling water in a clear bottle, students created a miniature vortex, demonstrating the powerful, spiralling winds of a tornado. Rain Cloud in a Jar: using a jar, water, shaving cream (to represent a cloud), and food colouring to show how clouds become saturated and eventually release rain.
“It’s been a really exciting day!” “I have found out a lot of interesting facts!”
