Weather

We studied the weather. 

The big hit of the week was being storm chasers.  We made a radar, an anemometer and a rain guage. We used their laptop to track the storm which turned into a tornado.  Freddie was the one who had to keep "going out in the storm" with the radar so we could track it.  Cedrik had to decide how big the tornado was and make sure everyone was alerted to get underground. We drove in the truck (they sat on my legs) and we're thrown back and forth with the fierce winds. We watched a tornado video and held the camera to make sure we were getting good pictures of it.  It was intense.

We also learned about hurricanes but tornados were the hit of the week.  I tried making funnels with water bottles but they kept leaking.

We also simulated a storm with rain (water in a bowl) and the blow dryer.  Freddie is horrified by the hairdryer. We built towers and blew them down with the wind. 

It was an action packed few days.
