Weather Club


As IB students, we managed to go through the weather club. We measure the maximum, minimum and the present temperature of the day, the precipitation, air pressure and the cloud cover. There are almost 15 groups of two and each group get to do the weather club once in 3 weeks.  We still got four more month to measure, but now we can see what graph looks like. This year, the coldest moment was similar to last year but with much lower temperature. And the general temperature was higher than last year. By promoting the awareness of climate change in my school, I engaged with an issue of global importance. Now, I’m more aware of climate changes and interested in what to do and how to prevent them from happening. The graph of what we measured in our school also increased my awareness more, by showing the overall climate change in one place; the increase in average temperature, winter came much quicker, compared to last year.
This month, due to the exams, year 11 and 13 were away, so basically only year 12 was doing the weather club and sometimes students forgot to record which also affects the next day’s reading. I haven’t missed any of my recording date, and make sure that I am using the tools in right way so I’ve shown perseverance and commitment. Now the graph is almost ready: I planned and initiated activity by never miss my turn to measure, drawing, colouring, and updating the graphs. And I worked collaboratively with my partner while I was measuring the weather club.
