Name: ______________ Objective: Performance Task Science: Weather You will use meteorologists’ instruments and technology to collect, record, and compare data related to day-to-day weather conditions in different locations. Then you will use the information and data obtained to write about which location would be the better place for a field trip of your choice. Steps: q Step 1: Observe, measure, and record last three (3) days of local weather data to include air temperature, wind direction, wind speed, and precipitation using meteorologists’ instruments and technology. q Step 2: Select a field trip destination of your choice (must be outside of San Antonio, TX). q Step 3: Locate the last three (3) days of weather at your selected destination using technology. q Step 4: Record and compare the data from both locations using a MS Excel Spreadsheet or MS Power. Point Presentation. q Step 5: Use the information and data obtained to write about which location would be the better place for a field trip. Products: q Product 1: A spreadsheet or presentation with data from each location compared using a chart, graph, table, and/or map. o Three (3) days of clear and accurate local weather data to include air temperature, wind direction, wind speed, and precipitation. o Three (3) days of clear and accurate destination weather data to include air temperature, wind direction, wind speed, and precipitation. o Data from each location clearly and accurately compared using a chart, graph, table, and/or map. q Product 2: A handwritten paper with an explanation of your choice of a better place for a field trip using the data for product 1. o Specific and detailed writing about the location that would be the better place to take a field trip. o Accurate grade-level appropriate science vocabulary to describe and compare the day-to-day weather conditions in the two different locations. o Reasonable and supported explanation for the choice of location that would be the better place to take a field trip.
