I will be attending a meeting tomorrow, April 28, 2011 for Read 180. This will be your assignment for Thursday to bring back on Friday. All of the information you will need to complete the assignment can be accessed on the internet or by watching the news and/or by watching the weather channel.
MATH & SCIENCE
Based on the fact that we have experienced some very severe weather this week, this is your assignment:
1.) What is a tornado and tell what conditions must be present for a tornado to form.
2.) Give the amount of rainfall that we have had, per day, and calculate the average amount of
rainfall for the week.
BONUS
