On Thursday, February 3, 2017 the CANDAC Outreach Team travelled to
visit Mrs. Cregg's kindegarten class and Mrs. Pignatell's grade 4 class
at da Vinci Public School in Ajax, Ontario. The student researchers at
da Vinci will be taking wind, temperature, and solar insolation
measurements over the next eight weeks. Mrs. Cregg's class had already
mapped out two of the locations where measurements will be taking place:
Mrs. Cregg's class was also studying polar bears and other arctic animals:
Taking wind measurements using an anemomemeter and a wind sock outside: it was a windy day!
Taking temperature measurements outside with thermometers, it was -2 on Thursday:
Good luck with your measurements da Vinci student researchers!
CANDAC (Canadian Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Change) researchers have teamed up with students and staff at schools in Ontario and Nunavut to launch a new project that encourages young people to become active researchers who monitor atmospheric conditions using scientific instruments at their school. Researchers and students work together to gather, compare and analyse data to better understand the current state of Earth's dynamic atmosphere.
