Our Lady of Lourdes School
A Lesson in Meteorology

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Caroline Newton, Mrs. Savarese's sister, spoke to students in Grades 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 about meteorology. Ms. Newton has a degree in meteorology from Cornell University and she is currently working for the EPA in New York City. She presented an interactive PowerPoint presentation about cloud types, storm formation, and weather forecasting. Students also learned how to recognize symbols on a weather map. Students were then given the opportunity to practice forecasting in front of the audience.
