You are on the temperature team. Your team studies the temperature readings for days 1 - 3. Then you predict what Dayton's temperature will be on day 4 and how it will affect the city's weather that day. That's when the events are scheduled. Think about the following questions:

1. How has the temperature changed from day 1 to day 3?
2. What do those results mean?
3. Do you notice any strong trends or patterns?

Before the Event

• Research your team's topic (air pressure, humidity, winds, or temperature).
• Familiarize yourself with the STORM-E web site.
• Locate, study, and complete your team's days 1 - 3 maps and graphs.
• Has the data changed from day 1 to 3? What do those results mean?
• Do you notice any strong trends or patterns?
• Your team must be prepared to report to Weather Central at the beginning of the videoconference. Include a prediction of weather conditions on day 4.

 

On the Day of the Event

• Present your team report including prediction to Weather Central.
• Do you need any additional information? Ask Weather Central or other weather teams for help.
• Report any forecast revisions or updates to Weather Central.
• Locate, study, and complete the day 4 map. Examine the information to see how closely it matches your predictions. Do you need to change your forecast?
• Continue to record and analyze weather data.
• Be prepared to give a final report to Weather Central at the end of the videoconference.
