I went to the meeting on STEM this evening.
The new magnet school is still under construction for grades K through 5 only.
Metric units will be taught, but not exclusively.
Students will begin by tracing their feet and comparing the lengths with the
footprints of classmates. There were no measuri
While technically correct, 0.7 mm/cm looks a little weird. Perhaps we should
all use 70 mm/m, etc. 9Iit gets the prefix out of the denominator, eliminates
the decimal for reasonable accuracy, etc.

Interesting. The data in this article jibe well with the sparse data I
collected. I had stated here earlier that my observations were averaging
in the order of 7 mm/cm to 8 mm/cm of rain to snow. The annual data

When I lived in Canada, we sometimes would grade our snow as slushy, fluffy,
crunchy, squeaky.
Slushy - 0 to -3.
Fluffy - -3 to -12.
Crunchy - -12 to -25.

colder storms yield lighter, fluffier powder. Optimal conditions would be a
relatively cold storm at night, with clear skies during the day. (We call this
a blue-bird powder day).
