Part 3. Study for Vocabulary Quiz on Friday on the following vocab terms discussed in class:
- Atmosphere
- Climate
- Mean / Average
- Median
- Meteorologist
- Mode
- Precipitation
- Quantitative Data
- Qualitative Data
- Risk
- Weather
Once you have them all down, go back through the list and make sure you can remember the meaning of each vocab term. Repeat this until you know the meaning of each term well enough to recognize it on a quiz.
This is self-quizzing, a very effective way to learn.
