ATTENTION 3RD AND 4TH GRADE SCIENCE TEACHERS!

Each Wednesday during the 2009-2010 school year, Jerry Martz will be visiting a different 3rd or 4th grade class with a fun and informative weather lesson. Each student in the class receives a lunchbox with surprises from ABC 6 & FOX 28 and McDonald's.

Teachers and School Administrators, you can nominate your Elementary School as one of Jerry's Lunchbox Weather destinations today. Wednesday Lunchbox Weather visits are reserved on a first-come first-serve basis. The online participation form below must be filled out by an Elementary School Teacher or Elementary School Admistrator in the WSYX / WTTE viewing area to request a visit. Schools will be contacted after the online form has been submitted.

(Lunchboxes are limited to 75 students or less per week; combined classrooms exceeding the limit may not receive lunchboxes.

• WEATHER QUESTION OF THE WEEK
	September 30, 2009 - SLATE HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Jaleah asked: What makes different kinds of snowflakes? Jerrys answer: The temperature in the clouds dictate what kinds of snowflakes will form. Around 14and 22°, icy needles form. From -4 to 14°, the crystals look like plates. And from -12 to -4°, the classic dendrites (six-sided flakes) form. October 7, 2009 - MADISON CHRISTIAN SCHOOL Sydney asked: How does lightning form? Jerrys answer: The air inside a t-storm is very violent, with large amounts of air rapidly moving up and down within the storms. This produces a large amout of static electricity, which in turn produces lightning. October 14, 2009 - ST. MARY MAGDALENE SCHOOL Samantha asked: How hard can rain fall? Jerrys answer: During the heaviest rainstorms, rates of 2-3" per hour are not uncommon. However, the heaviest rain recorded in Ohio was in Cambridge - 7.0" fell in just 30 minutes! October 21, 2009 - TIFFIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Can it thunder during a snow storm? Jerrys answer: Yes, but it's pretty rare. When 'thundersnow' occurs, it is usually accompanied by extremely heavy bursts of snow, along with vividly colored lightning. October 29, 2009 - BARRINGTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Brianna asked: Where did the word 'weather' come from? Jerrys answer: 'Weather' comes from the German word 'weder', which means 'to blow'. November 4, 2009 - ST. ANDREW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Tanner asked: How many gallons of water are in an average cloud? Jerrys answer: An average cumulus cloud weighs over 500 tons - that's over 120,00 gallons of water!
