Wild Weather

We've been looking at aspects of weather we are currently working towards getting our 'Meteorologist Licence'.  Having the licence allows us to become part of Room 3's 'Studio 3' weather team and record our own weather report!

Soon we will be moving from a science perspective to a social science perspective.  We will be looking at gaining some specific knowledge about roles people have taken on when responding to a disaster such as a flood, storm, tornado, and how they have managed resources to prepare in advance.

From this knowledge we hope to gain an understanding of how ordinary citizens can take on important roles in difficult times such as a disaster, and how we can use resources we have to prepare for possible future events.
