Comment on weather
When we started collecting the weather on April
29,2002 the weather was cold. We ended on May 3,
2002 the weather got warmer. During that week the
weather was pretty cold. So during that week the
weather was odd.

What We Learned
Some things that we learned are that just
because youre close to the equator doesnt mean
that it will always be warm. The higher you are
the colder it will get. We also learned that you
cant really predict the weather. We learned how
to get the weather pictures from the Internet
and put them into a PowerPoint presentation.
