8th Grade Team Forecasts the Weather

Five 8th graders, under the guidance of science teacher, Kristin Moore, have opted to compete as a team in the 5th annual Weather Forecasting and Earth Science competition sponsored by Weducation, Inc. They are competing against teams of 8th, 9th and 10th graders from schools all over the country to accurately predict the weather in four US cities throughout the month of March. Using the same tools and data that professional meteorologists use, the students have done a great job of predicting the weather in the first week's city, Eureka, California. These dedicated students have held "working lunches" to make their forecasts and answer a series of Earth Science quiz questions.
