First experiment on S104 is to do with measuring precipitation, just to get us in the 'scientific' mood.
My rain gauges consist of 2 level bottomed glass jars. One of them has a funnel over it to reduce evaporation. They have both been out since Monday lunchtime, first reading was 10 mm in the open jar and 11 mm in the one with a funnel. Second reading was 36 mm in both, we had a lot of rain Tuesday night. Following is a picture of them today (prior to doing Thursdays reading):-
Quizlet
Have come across quite a few new 'scientific' terms in book 1 so created a quiz on quizlet with all the bold terms to practice definitions. Am hoping to create one on more general questions which will be very useful for revision puposes as yes S104 this year has an exam, which I cannot stop thinking about as it will be my first exam for over 15-20 years!
The quiz can be found here:-

iCMA41
Due to an OU admin error we are able to keep on resubmitting our first iCMA to get our best score, final score so far is 90% which I am happy with as this iCMA only contributes 2% to the final score anyway.
