Weather Club
Well its time to pass our Weather Club Project to our successors in Year 12! Bets of luck guys!
We had handed over the weather box (which was handmade by us – putting it together definitely proved a challenge – but painting it was fun!) with all our apparatus, as well as our graph where we had recorded all the different temperatures each day for the past year. It clearly showed that the number of warm days had exceeded the average number which is usual for . Although this is not official proof of global warming I think it gives everyone something to think about. I think it was great that we made that graph (Maria and me) because when you see the facts on an actual table \and can clearly see the correlation of the graphs it bring the home global warming question home – It definitely made me more aware because when you are out there each week measuring the weather and literally seeing the difference it makes you want to shut off the taps and stop wasting paper!!! Also sometimes it is hard to fully appreciate when the effects of global warming i.e. possible effects of the climate and the weather because it always seems as it doesn’t affect you directly , so I think that the Weather Club helped bring the issue a little closer to home so people can actually contribute (however small that contribution is) to the question of global warming!
Best of Luck to the Year 12s.
