**You may take pictures of your project and present it by gluing the pictures on a poster board.
Your child may selectone of these topics: make a barometer, make fog in a jar, create a portable cloud, make a tornado, make lightning, twister in a jar, make convection currents, conduction, make a weather vane, or make a diagram of a cloud chart.
Grades will come from the following:
*Organization/Neatness
*Creativity
*Product-Poster has no errors & is completely NEAT.
*Content-Understands what the topic is
*Hand written Summary-No errors, neat, complete sentences
