      It all started when Mr. Schwan told us we were going to listen to people tell us about the weather in different cities, states, regions, countries, and even continents! Mr. Schwan's class was the only class doing this project. We were learning about weather at the time, so Mr. Schwan wanted us to learn about how weather could be different all over the world. Mr. Schwan asked people who had a ham radio if they wanted to do this project. Plenty of people did, and we wound up having people from places like Cleveland and Israel reporting their weather. We used Mr. Schwan's Ham Radio and listened to overhead speakers. We recorded weather and learned about how weather could be different on different continents. Then we put it on Excel to tell the difference between the weather on different days of the week and on different weeks. On our last day doing this project, instead of taking weather records, we asked the people we got questions about themselves. We did this at St. Michael Lutheran School in Mr. Schwan's classroom. People also did it in different parts of Ft. Myers, in different cities, states, countries, and continents. We did this on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:15 to 9:45 for 6 weeks.       

I think we did this to learn about other people and different weather on different places of the Earth (I also think we did this because Mr. Schwan enjoys being a ham operator and likes saying, "CQCQCQ. This is the weather ham's net." ETC.) I thought this was a fun project to do. (And I think you would, too!)
