SEVERE weather across the ATL area this week has me thinking about the WEATHER... #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:01 PM EDT

Please introduce yourself. What's your fave weather event? Tonight I’m taking weather to the EXTREME! #scitlap

#scitlap about to start......calling all pirates. It's gonna get stormy, all hands on deck!

SueAtSea Apr 5 @ 9:01 PM EDT

Hi friends! Susan here, I love a cold front in the summer! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Apr 5 @ 9:02 PM EDT

I'm partial to great, big, giant, snowstorms! #scitlap This winter left me wanting...

Kristin from MA and I love thunderstorms!! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:02 PM EDT

Lori, in Atlanta. I love a rainbow after storms. Also, real snow (like about 3 inches - which we haven't had in a few winters!) #scitlap

I teach 8th grade Sci - and in Phoenix we have a lot of fun with Haboob storms #scitlap

In reply to @Mr_Canterbury

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:04 PM EDT

Q1) TWC app shows the 15 day forecast! Do you plan 15 days out? A week at a time? Or are you more “Here’s today’s weather…”? #scitlap

A1 For weather, I look at about a week. A day like today, it is by the hour! #scitlap

Joy Kidd, Prosper TX. I love serious fog, still and quiet and drippy. Sunny and clear: bleargh! #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:05 PM EDT

A1) A little of both. But def more "today's weather". I adjust from class to class. I think it's one of my teacher superpowers #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Apr 5 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: Weather - don't trust a forecast more than 3 days out - changes too much after days 4 + #scitlap

A1: For school, with my best material I have it all planned instinctively - just have to see kids are ready for each new step (FIP) #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Apr 5 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A4: Probably low pressure early but starting to climb. Leaving stressful testing behind for more fun activities. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4) High pressure leading up to a test Friday. LOTS of review/study time in class to help confidence though. #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Apr 5 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A4 Testing week, so school vibe has lots of pressure, but I keep the seas calm in my room. Relationships and growth first, always. #scitlap

SueAtSea Apr 5 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4 My barometer is falling. We are coming up to a test. I hate when they are stressed about numerical scores! #scitlap

cjcrawcooper Apr 5 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: low pressure to start week S/sub interactions followed by high pressure #scitlap

Q5) THERMOMETER: if you measure at different times throughout a lesson, would temps be stable? Fluctuating? Which do you prefer? #scitlap

legendlearning Apr 5 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@daleyscience that would certainly reduce the pressure! #scitlap

A5) Temps vary from class to class. I have 4 blocks, each with very unique climate. (see what I did there?) #scitlap

A7 The happiest I became as a T is when I realized sometimes I just need to get out of Ss way & just let them show what they know #scitlap

The chef hook is always a winner. Added bonus when it leaves a fun aroma behind. #scitlap.
