The Globe at Night Project

Here is a quick and easy extra credit opportunity. I don’t do these often, so it’s a good idea to take advantage of it.

The Globe at Night is a citizen science project to measure light pollution around the world. Go out tonight and see how many stars you can see in the constellation Orion. All of the information and reporting procedures can be found on the Globe at Night web site.

Print our or write up your report of the stars you saw and turn it in. I will add 5 points to your lowest test grade. I recommend doing this tonight as it may be cloudy the rest of the week,

How can I use surface weather maps to make weather forecasts?

This will count as your final test assessment. You can use your online textbook, notebook, and any web site to help you answer the questions. You have one class period to complete the assignment. You may work with one partner. Work diligently to get the assignment completed.
