Earth Science, Weather and Map Reading

Tomorrow is Selected Topics in Science day.  We have started our unit on Earth Science and Geography.  We are going to record weather conditions over the next seven class periods using NOAA and weather.com.  NOAA has great forecast maps and now that the government shutdown/setback is over, NOAA is back in business ... it is a great website!

www.noaa.org

We will also do some map reading of Kentucky.  I was able to pickup 30 Kentucky maps on our way back from Michigan.  Most high school students have little knowledge of Kentucky geography and geology.  Even in these days of electronic maps ... some map reading skills and a knowledge of Kentucky geography is valuable.

Also, we have a few students making up tests tomorrow.

Computer programming students are working on SPC and TAB commands, as well as, READ/DATA statements.  The problems include a simple baseball stats program and developing a Countries/Capitals program using READ/DATA.
