On September 20, the Grade 5 ROW team took their classes
to the LGI room at Mohonasen High School for a
science/technology-based field trip where students
participated in a lesson about hurricanes via phone
conference.
The phone conference was set up
through Weatherbug with Meteorologist Joe Bartosik, who
was stationed in Maryland. Joe helped students
understand the facts about hurricanes through a
PowerPoint presentation, which was viewed by 27
different schools in more than 14 states.
The students listened in awe as
schools from all over the country called in with
questions for Joe.
In science class, each student wrote
a question that they wanted to ask the meteorologist.
All of the questions were collected, compiled, and a
select few were e-mailed to the meteorologist. There was
only time for 10 questions to be read and answered—and
one of the questions came from Pinewood students!
