Hello from NYC I’m a special education middle school teacher

Hello! Kasey Englehart, 5th grade Science teacher, Westwood ISD, Palestine TX

Welcome everyone to NSTA Science Update - presenter is Lori Pinson

Collection with all the slides: https://my.nsta.org/collection/FkwXz54Ciz0_E

A behind the scenes about putting together a weather forecast for TV...more about weather coming up!

Get your questions ready...our first opportunity for a couple of questions is coming up!

This is interesting insight

What resources do you use to develop the forecast? What are the data sources?

((Out of a 1-hour education webinar on *weather* 13 minutes in a TV studio/work-from-home?!))

Thank you Merrill for your question

When you are in front of the green screen, it doesn't look like you can see your visuals. How do you see your graphics to refer to them on the air?

Does the studio offer tours for students or virtual field trips?

What is your educational background?

@Era- I think you can access what Lori is showing us todaY on NSTA Collections. That might be like a virtual field trip

Thank you-

Thank you. I will.

Can students, in general, contact their area Fox station for historical weather records?

The collection has a few examples of Lori's Science Corner and their corresponding NSTA Daily Do - the collection is here: https://my.nsta.org/collection/FkwXz54Ciz0_E

NSTA Daily Do (https://www.nsta.org/resources/daily-do) are sensemaking tasks that you can use at home and in the classroom

If our students ask, how do you become a weather presenter /forecaster? What can we suggest them to go for?

Thanks Saadia for your question

How accurate are the weather reports today ? ( is the technology in place to help you )

Thank you, Lori!

Can students, in general, contact their area Fox station for historical weather records?

Can we predict them all - with what level of anticipation ?

Have you created a Science Corner video explaining why warmer air from climate change will hold more moisture and thus produce heavier rainfall?

Are these videos available to everyone?

Hi Christine - they are in the collection

Collection: https://my.nsta.org/collection/FkwXz54Ciz0_E

@Christine- I noticed that video is hosted on Vimeo

thank you

Hi Merrill - LSC videos are created based on currently available Daily Dos from NSTA

This would be interesting to Hawaii kids- we almost never have t-storms due to small land mass

Noted Merrill

It would be a great idea to connect to other school’s to compare weather patterns

@Joan, I love that idea- wether pen-pals!

Kills more because ppl take too many risks

All of Lori's videos are in the collection: https://my.nsta.org/collection/FkwXz54Ciz0_E

@Merrill Yes!

That you can use to share with others in the classroom or at home, science center, etc.

@Joan- Yes, In Hawaii- flooding kills may tourists who don’t know the risk of getting caught in the mountains

We have had a lot of flooding in NY

For those of you interested in Climate Science, the NSTA Science Update in October (October 14) will be about climate. You can register here: http://my.nsta.org/webseminars

When you are reporting and giving warning, what vocabulary do you use to make ppl take notice?

Having students come up with those weather alert slogans might be an authentic product they could work on

Great idea!

i.e. “Turn Around, Don’t Drown”

weather provides so many great phenomenons to study

phenomena

Teaching too

Thanks Don!

Any time & where if the weather is right

Tornados are one of my favorite things to teach! I think I could be a storm chaser and my students joke with me about being one too.

this story could help to inspire kids to study other unusual tornadoes

Hurricanes are my thing

severe weather kits are a great things for kids to create as a project

@Christine- older kids can use mapping apps to make evacuation plans as well

@merrill - great idea

I want to know the formula for calculating fall speed!

Interesting to see the different size comparisons of hail and how powerful and destructive they can be when they hit property

I love this video

You can find it in the collection: https://my.nsta.org/collection/FkwXz54Ciz0_E

When I lived in FL, I learned that FL is the lightning capital of the United States

The survey will be made available right after we finish the program We have one more video to show you about the 2021 hurricane outlook.
