Four class and we learning about the different types of winds. firstly we did a word and meaning sheet which i did not like i was not interested in as soon as i get to class. think this is an activity for before class ends but i understand the strategy. Honestly i knew half of the meanings on the sheet the other was sought of hard to remember and took a while to come back to me so it does encourage critical thinking. It is not because i am not readingbut sometimes the simple things we tend to forget at times so such is life. we spoke about cyclones( low pressure covering the air) and anticyclones (high pressure diverging air). we were introduced to the sepcial wind systems which included. land and sea breeze, jet streams, deserts (harmattan), mountains ( anabatic and katabatic) and seasonal reveals (monsoon). some of these wind systems were new to me whilst some i already knew about and i could explain.  We looked at land breeze and sea breeze which brought back a memory for me a...

Today we learnt about whether or not snow can fall on the equator. My group, the A Team said yes whilst the other groups said no. of course we knew that with climate change the rotation of the sun anything can happen. Also we remembered that precipation does not only occur during the day but it occurs at night as well. Also the tilt of the earth matters here as well. This was my "ah ha" moment as I i really forget about this important point as I just focused on the rotation, climate changing and the precipation not occuring during the day only. In addition to this, we were given a sheet of paper with pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and we were asked how do we take the the pieces in account for how we work together as a group. So what my group came up with was that some of the pieces will not fit but we would have to work around with the other pieces until it has fit, meaning that we will encounter challenges and we will have to work around it and get the job done at the end of the...

Today, I appreacited the fact that my group members were all present in class so we could have agreed on working with each other for the rest of the semester. Although we had a small issue it was dealt with and we are all now comfortable and ready to work together.  Today, we started atmospheric energy and class was indeed an informative class as we started to really think about how we are explaining diagrams and the questions that can be formed based on how you explain it. We (my Group members and I) understood the concept of the picture based on previous knowledge and also from what we had learnt in class. My personal view on class today was that Miss assumed that we were all in a bad mood but honestly that's how we are and it is a long trip from south on mornings so this what she saw this morning was something normal. DON'T BE SCARED!!! What i dislike about every class is that we are timed to do assignments within the class. This is something that we are not really us...
