We ended our discussion in class yesterday coming up with more questions, and after using a Google Form, it generated a really great way for all of us to see each others' questions:
It was comforting to see that so many others still had the same questions as us, and we didn't really know much. We had a great conversation around our next steps, thinking about what would make the most sense to uncover first.
And while we REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to just plug the fog machine in, we think that it's important we do some science figuring out to then help us with the engineering. We agreed that the person who made the fog machine must have known about natural fog first, and a couple people had the idea to look at natural fog in greater detail. If we know about natural fog, and how it forms, then maybe we'll have a better idea about how to make artificial fog in our classroom.
So Mrs. Brinza found a great map! We looked for patterns on the map to hopefully help us figure out natural fog occurences.

And after identifying patterns, we agreed upon some places to look for weather data, since we hear the weatherman talk about fog, it's gotta be related to weather, right? So Mrs. Brinza is going to look for some data on weather, like temperature, elevation, wind, rainfall, humidity, and anything else she can muster up!
