Weather Club

The year twelves and thirteens have been continuing on running the weather club. The weather club is involves pairs of allocated students to take reading off the stevenson screen. We measure the maximum and minimum temperature for each day, the current temperature, snow fall(mm), cloud cover and atmospheric pressure. In order to achieve accuracy the devices are reset every time readings are taken and the readings are taken at the same time every day( at 11 am). Running the weather club will allow us to graphically display our values on a chart and analyse the temperature in moscow, write down some records, calculate averages and also compare the chart that will be drawn this year with the charts from previous years.By running the weather club and using the data obtained and comparing it with previous years we could even perhaps make some conclusions about global warming, as last year the winter in russia was extremely cold, but if global warming would actually exist temperatures would not really fall to minus 30.
The CAS objectives achieved are as follows:

 show perseverance and commitment- commitment is shown by concistently obtaining readings.

 engaged with issues of global importance- engaging with weather analysis

develop new skills- using instruments for measuring weather conditions
