Weather Tools and Regions (Inspiration Map)

Hey Lisa, here is my list of tools and regions to put in the inspiration map. I included definitions but you don't have to put those in. I wasn't sure about the regions so I just listed what I could think of. You don't have to add all of them either. Let me know if you need more than that though.


Weather Tools:

1. Thermometer - measures air temperature
2. Barometer - measures air pressure
3. Sling Psychrometer - measures relative humidity
4. Rain Gauge - measures amount of rain that has fallen over a specific period of time
5. Wind Vane - determines the direction of the wind
6. Anemometer - measures wind speed
7. Weather satellites

Regions:

North America
South America
Australia
Asia
Europe
Africa

Deserts
Rain forests
Tundra
Forests
Tropical areas

Lesson Plans

My first lesson plan was on an introduction to the water cycle and having students make a water cycle terrarium. My second lesson is going to be about measuring rainfall between the U.S and Brazil.

Podcast ideas

I will be doing my part of the podcast on the lesson plans that we will incorporate in our PBL. I will also try to incorporate ideas from the book on making lesson plans.

Collaborative Podcast

I will talk about PBL: What it is and why we are using it and our topic and why it's important. I will also discuss concept mapping and the goals of the students.

PODCAST IDEAS

-introduction to project based learning. (what it is, why we are using it, how our topic works)
-goals
-objectives
Content standards
Inquiry and predictions (tabby)
Also, I'm going to do mt lp2 on comparing monthly temps between Detroit and Brazil
