It all started late in August. Mr. Schwan, his class, and some other friends of Mr. Schwan, became amateur weather radio operators. We were able to talk to each other on little radios. Almost all of the students recorded weather from different places from around the world! We did all of this every Tuesday and every Thursday from the beginning of September, to the middle of October for six weeks. Mr. Schwan's friends were all over the world! Some were near, some were faraway in different countries, even! A few were in the same state, some were in other states, and some were in other countries like Mike, from Israel and Slav, from Russia. Mr. Schwan and his class were all in Fort Myers, FL in the United States. We did this all because Mr. Schwan gave us all an opportunity to do all of this. But there are many reasons why we did this. We did this by connecting to some kind of system and soon we could talk to each other by walkie - talkie. I'm not sure how the other people got their information but Mr. Schwan got his information from the internet. All of the students had a gridsheet and filled it out according to what it said. On the last day we didn't record weather but the ones in Mr. Schwan's class who couldn't record weather - because there were too many students and not enough of Mr. Schwan's friend's - asked any question that they wanted to. (random questions) It was a really fun experience!
