Meteorologist, John Marshall, visited SBS this week to teach students about the weather. Marshall taught students about different types of clouds and the science of the weather events. He also showed them the tools a meteorologist uses to make their weather forecast. Students had the opportunity to deliver the five day forecast and report on significant weather events such as hurricanes and tornados. Marshall also challenged students' geographical knowledge, asking them to find our home state and then identify different states where certain weather events occur. Students also got to see that you become invisible when you wear green against the green screen. This assembly was made possible by donations to the SBS PTO.
