Build Your Own Weather StationFor this week's lab, you will build a backyard weather station that you will use to collect at least five days' worth of measurements (see Module 7 lab). The instructions for building most of the weather instruments are located here: https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Weather-Instruments (Links to an external site.) and https://inventorsoftomorrow.com/2018/01/22/diy-weather-station-for-kids/ (Links to an external site.) Directions for a do-it-yourself thermometer are found here: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/measure-up-with-a-homemade-thermometer/ (Links to an external site.). Following the instructions provided, construct a barometer and a thermometer, along with at least one of the other four possible instruments (hygrometer, wind vane, anemometer, rain gauge). When constructing your thermometer, please complete the calibration step, which will require a store-bought one (listed as optional in the instructions).Take a digital photograph of each instrument that you construct. Include in your photo a strip of paper with your name and the date on it. These photographs will be part of your lab report for this week.In addition to the weather instrument photos, for your Week Six Lab Report, submit a short essay covering every weather instrument in turn: thermometer, hygrometer, barometer, wind vane, anemometer, rain gauge (even the ones you did not build).For each one, provide a brief history behind it; discuss what it measures; explain how your instrument works; and explain what information it provides about current and potential future weather conditions. Follow APA formatting guidelines, according to the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.) for the title and sources cited.

Carlton, a 6-year-old boy, was playing on a sandy beach with his mother. He began to run along the shoreline when he stepped on the sharp edge of a shell, giving himself a deep cut on his foot. His mother washed his foot in the lake and put on his running shoe to take him home. One day later, Carlton’s foot looked worse. The gash was red and painful. The foot was warm to touch and appeared swollen. Carlton’s mom put some gauze over the wound and prepared to take him to the local community health clinic.What is the physiologic mechanism causing the wound to become red, hot, swollen, and painful? How is this different than the inflammatory response that might occur in an internal organ?What are the immunologic events that are happening at the local level during Carlton’s acute inflammatory response?Which antiinflammatory medications could assist in decreasing the amount of inflammation to the site?

You will be building and launching a model rocket. Some of you may choose to work with a partner or partners. You will need a model rocket kit and few supplies of your own to build it (some glue, scissors, ruler,...). YOU WILL SUBMIT a report of the construction and launch of your model rocket (NAME YOUR ROCKET). Some photos would be nice.
