This week we will continue to discuss forces:  mechanical (push/pull),  friction, and gravity.

We are still logging and comparing, from both Gilmer and another US state, the current temperature of the air outside, wind speed and direction, and precipitation.  We also discuss time zones and how that affects air temperature.  We are continuing to track Gilmer's temperature on our thermometer log.

This week we will compare Gilmer's forecast and climate to that of Virginia Beach, Virginia.
