Yesterday we ventured outside again to collect our October data on what was going on outside our school.  We began to see differences not only in the temperature (it was nearly 10 degrees Celsius cooler than in September!), but in the leaf cover and overall amount of life we saw.  Keep checking back to see what we uncover!

Back in September, fifth graders started collecting data on the Earth's systems without even knowing it.  We ventured outside and made some observations of our school's surroundings.  What was the weather like?  What biotic and abiotic factors could they find in their observations.  We recorded the tempearture, and used mathematical statistics to determine our class' mean, median, mode and range within our data set.  With time, we'll start to see trends that can help predict what is happening to the Earth.

​Here are some shots of our gorgeous September day (9.22.15)
