Today you will use Google Earth to travel the globe in search of weather information for the five different cities below, plus one additional city of your choice. Record the information while you are retrieving it on the Excel spreadsheet template. Use the F3 key to toggle between windows. After all the information is collected, you will learn how to create a bar graph of the temperatures of the cities.
Hi, I was reading about your activity with weather around the world. Did you know that the only US competitor in the Vendee Globe race is from Marblehead, MA? He has spent the last 42 days dealing with all kinds of weather as he sails in this epic race. Right now the seas are relatively calm but earlier in the week he was in some low pressure systems that caused very strong winds.

Let’s hope for some great weather for the winter holidays.
