We completed our first set of measurements
yesterday (Thursday). The forecast called for steady rain for
Friday through the weekend so we did it Thursday. (The forecast
was accurate) I have attached a photo of our rough measurements.
I took the photos and used Scion software which was surprisingly
close to what the students measured. Students used protractors
to approximate the measurements, but we will be working on a
system for more consistent measurements next month. The
temperature was about 43 degrees and coincidently 43 degrees was
the measurement of the sun's angle! |

The forecast for tomorrow is for only a little sun so we
measured the angle today. Our measurement is 20 degrees. School
dismisses early tomorrow and along with the forecast I doubt I
will get a reading ...have a great holiday!! |

I have included photos of our measuring techniques. We
completed our measurements on Friday during a chilly 7
degree lunch period. The weather has been unseasonably warm
(with the exception of a few cold days). Luckily the clouds
that have been pretty constant cleared on Friday so we could
do the measurements.

My apologies for not getting this to you sooner! Our February
reading for Norman County East is 34 degrees. Thankfully the sun
is "coming back" however, tonight we are under a blizzard
warning. First one this year. Stay warm, spring is
coming...eventually. |

I wish we could have completed the year with the last
observation. The weather for the past week has been dreary and
rainy and tonight we are due for another winter storm (5-9
inches). Oh well, the farmers are smiling because the drought is
almost officially over now. I hope you do this activity again
next year, I am sure we will want to participate again. |
