Problem
What would the temperature, wind
pressure, precipitation, and type of
front would be provided in the week of
3/6?
Hypothesis
I think the temperatures would be
neutral. I think they would because
since it’s the beginning of spring, and
the temperature still can be related in
the winter state. The air pressures will
also be neutral. This is the flu season,
so there will be many changes in the
weather. The fronts, I think, will go
back and forth because of the air
pressure, precipitation, and force of
the two conjoining together to make a
stationary front.
Purpose
The purpose of this observation is to make
predictions and record the temperatures,
air pressures, precipitation, fronts, and sun
visibility to compare it to how everything
affects weather in their different ways.
Another purpose is to examine the uses of
the tools to measure weather. To measure
weather, you can use a barometer,
thermometer, a psychrometer or
hygrometer, and a anemometer. We
examined and identified the different fronts,
and how the compared together and what
kind of affect it puts on the rest of the
temperature outcomes.
ResearchThe Difference between Weather
and Climate
Weather is what happens in the atmosphere. Weather
shows when it is hot, or when it’s cold. When it’s wet or
when it’s dry. When it’s stormy, or when it’s calm. When
it’s sunny or when it’s cloudy. Climate is the average
weather over a long period of time. A place that doesn’t
rain much, would be considered as a dry climate. A
place where it’s cold is considered as a cold climate.
Spring’s weather is basically unpredictable. It could be
cold, and wet, and other days, it could be hot, and
sunny. Summer’s weather is usually hot, giving warm
night temperatures. Fall’s temperature is mild. Skies are
mostly clear, and the air is often cool. Winter’s
temperature is also fairly mild. When the air gets cooler,
it forms rain into snow, hail, or sleet. The different types
of climate are on the next slide.

Analysis
To emphasize on the chart, I found many
interesting things. One thing that I realized
is that every time it was raining, it was a
stationary front. I think that is because
both of the fronts, cold and warm, form a
reaction to the weather for it to act certain
ways. Another thing I realized was that the
lower the air pressure, the greater chance
of precipitation. In conclusion, the weather
is very important, and is dearly to our daily
lives.
