Practical Lesson


During the last lesson in the outdoor classroom, we measured various aspects that revolved around cloud cover.

To measure the relative humidity, we used the Sling Thermometer. 
You wet the cotton wick of the wet bulb thermometer then sling the thermometer. After the 'slinging' is done, you record the reading of both the wet and dry bulb. Since the wet bulb should always be lower than the dry, subtract the wet bulb reading from the dry - this gives you the relative humidity. 

To measure the Surface Temperature we used the IRT.

To measure the Air Pressure, the Barometer was used.

We also measured the highest and lowest temperature.

The types of cloud and percentage of cloud coverage was also recorded (It was an Overcast Stratus, with no contrails)

Me

My name is Amaris Odermatt, a student at Bangkok Patana School in Bangkok.

On this blog I will be posting my notes and observations from my Environmental Management  class.

I chose this class because I have since a young age, had a love for those weird and little creatures (Tarsiers, Alpacas and the Emperor Tamarin) or my respect for the way the environment has flourished for so long.

As well as that, I also believe that us humans, are in fact, slowly destroying the earth, and I just wanted to learn a little more about that, and how we could alter it.
