I think science is awesome. Right now my class is learning about the air. Did you know most of the gas in the air that we breathe is nitrogen? We breathe 21% of oxygen. We breathe 1% of other gases. Wonder why your car is hot in the summer? Well talk to me. The sun hits your vehicle and the heat stays in your vehicle. This is an example of the greenhouse effect. Some of the sun’s rays get trapped in our atmosphere from the gasses that are in our air.
Some of the weather interments that we are learning about are wind vane, wind sock, and anemometer. A wind vane and wind sock tells us wind direction. An anemometer measures wind speed.
