500s! Science and math Science and math
How do we get rid of math? (How do we narrow this number down?)
s is the Earth Science category 550s is the Earth Science category So say goodbye to… So say goodbye to…
Goodbye to… Math Math Animals Animals Planets Planets Spiders Spiders Light & sound Light & sound Minerals Minerals Plants Plants Electricity Electricity Dinosaurs & fossils Dinosaurs & fossils
Change the number again 551 Geology & meterology Geology: study of the history and structure of the earth Meteorology: study of weather
How do we get rid of geology? We don’t need to study the structure of the earth! We want weather!!
Add a decimal and you get..
551.5 Weather, A huge category! How do we get rid of rain, snow, tsunamis, clouds, sunny days, hurricanes, etc., etc.???
Add another number Storms Thunderstorms, snow storms, ice storms, tropical storms, hurricanes, blizzards, hail storms, when your mom is mad at you for not doing your chores! We just want tornadoes so…
TORNADOES!
This could go on a long time! Tornadoes of Wisconson Tornadoes of Wisconson
Hurricane & Tropical Storms Are similar to tornadoes, but that last number makes a big difference! Both are storms but: =hurricanes & tropical storms =tornadoes
The End So now where do we find celebrations?? Just kidding…
