A maximum of five bonus points for Math and five bonus points for Science will be given for the completion of these activities today. Each activity is one point each.
1. Take a picture of your yard this morning before it starts snowing hard.
2. Take a picture of your yard as the snow begins to get heavy.
3. Take a picture of your yard after the snow has been falling hard for a while.

Enter your measurement, temperature and time of day in the Comment section of this post.
7. two points - Do the above again on Saturday and compare your results with what you got yesterday. Enter your measurement, temperature, time of day and comparison in the Comment section of this post.

Have fun, I will be doing some of these activities too.
Can I start the hour snow result at 9?
ReplyDeleteIn Goffstown at 9 o'clock it is 1/2 cm and 1/4 in of snow outside my house.
ReplyDeleteIn Goffstown at 10 o'clock it is 8 mm and 3/8 in of snow outside my house.
ReplyDeleteI've got about 3/8 of an inch here in Pinnardville... still looking for my metric ruler at home here :-)
DeleteWhat temperature are you at? We're at 19 degrees F, here.
DeleteAt 9 o'clock it was 16 degrees fahrenheit and that is when I grapped one cup of snow. The snow was soft and fluffy. After the one cup of snow melted it was 6 1/2 teaspoons.
ReplyDeleteRight now it is 18 degrees,F here.
ReplyDeleteIn Goffstown it is 1 cm and 1/2 in of snow outside.
ReplyDeletejust under a half inch here and at 20°F
DeleteIn Goffstown at 12 o'clock it is a little over 1 cm and a little over 1/2 in hasn't change much. Although the storm is starting to pick up now. Therefore, next measurement should be more than an inch possible.
DeleteIn Goffstown at 1 o'clock it is about 1 1/2 cm and about 3/4 in of snow.
DeleteIn Goffstown at 2 o'clock it is about the same as 1 o'clock except there is a little bit more of snow. I think the storm is going to start picking up soon. Also it is 20 degrees F out.
DeleteWell it was about 1/2 in and it is 19 degrees F. I have a question if I do this and the other bonus will I still get credit or should I just do this one. I am doing all the bonuses for this activity even though we can only receive 5 extra credit points.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to send the blog activity to Miss King.
DeleteOk thank you, so should I still do the other bonus on the blog about Earliest Blooms Record?
DeleteI would like everyone to give the Earliest Blooms activity a try.
Deletetake it easy Maggie, that on isn't due till Feb 20th
Ok, and I know but today I am working on a lot of work and tomorrow because I can't really go anywhere because the weather isn't good.
DeleteI'm trying to get alot of work done today and tomorrow too, I brought all of my teacher books home for planning, and don't expect to be traveling very far before Sunday.
DeleteI started measuring the snow in Manchester and I observed that there was about 1 mm more each hour I checked. There is 3 mm of snow in Manchester now.
ReplyDeleteGreat JJ, its still not doing much here in Pinardville, but I expect it to get interesting very shortly.
Delete21°F here right now.
It is 20 degrees Fahrenheit in Manchester.
ReplyDeleteThe snow started to pick up quite a bit in Manchester. There is 1.7cm of snow on the ground now and it is 19 degrees Fahrenheit.
ReplyDeleteFor all kids working on this project, be careful out there as the storm picks up. Make your measurements from your doorway or porch if possible, and take your pictures from a window or doorway.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and warm this weekend!!
In Goffstown, there is 1 in and 2 cm of snow.
ReplyDeleteIn Manchester there is now 2.3cm of snow on the ground and the temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
ReplyDeleteIn Goffstown, at 4 o'clock there is a little over 3 cm of snow and about 1 1/2 inches of snow.

Nice work Ethan!! Stay safe out there in Weare!
ReplyDeleteI just had my sister measure the snow outside for me and there is approximately 1 foot and 4 inches of snow in Goffstown. According to my observations from sunset to now there is 1 foot and 1 inch more of snow.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is 15 degrees Farenheit.
DeleteI have between 18 and 22 inches of snow and 16 degrees F at 11 am today,
ReplyDeleteAnd the clouds are starting to break up.
I gave about 22 inches of snow and it is 18 degrees out. Also do I send my pictures to you? Also right now I am working on the snow melting again.
DeleteMaggie, you can email me your pictures and I'll try to set it up so the next time you can make your own posts on the blog. Are you shoveled out yet?
DeleteOk thank you! Also now I am shoveled out. It took us three hours. Are you?
DeleteYes, we are and it took a while too.
DeleteEnjoy the rest of the weekend!
Thank you, you too!
DeleteThe temperature is 19 degrees Fahrenheit at 2:22. I took one cup of snow and it equaled 7 teaspoons, on Saturday. Yesterday's snow was fluffy, stuck together, and melted faster. Today's snow was also fluffy but took just a little longer to melt. Also today's snow came out with a little more water. I measured one cup both days, just today's snow was a little different from yesterday's.
ReplyDeleteGreat observation! Now think of a hypothesis on why your results are different.
DeleteThank you! Should I write it in my journal? Also should I write all my observations I've written on the blog in my journal?
DeleteGood idea, if you have room go for it, if not save space for the rest of the moon section and start then new journal with the snow data.
DeleteSee you Monday
