First, as partners, you will each print out a copy of the data record sheet from the link at the bottom of this process explanation. After the sheet is printed for each of you, visit the websites sharing the computers in the computer lab. You will explore how to find out the weather on a particular day and a particular year.
Next, you will choose your birthday, the actual day you were born and the exact year, and look up what the weather was like that very day. Please record the information for your birthday and your partner�s.
Then, record the weather patterns as indicated on your data record sheet. What do you notice. Is there a consistent pattern? Does the weather change from year to year? What do you think it will be like for your 7th birthday?
Last, describe what you could do for your birthday party. For this part, you do not have to do each of your birthdays, just describe the party for your own. |
