Intro:
The disciplinarian I selected is a meteorologist. Meteorologist use tools like Barometers to assess the climate, forecast, precipitation and visibility of the area. They would study not only the upcoming weather and climate but the past as well to see patterns.
Task statement:
As a meteorologist I study the upcoming weather and climate and its impact on our planet. To research I will use books and credible websites on the topic. I will prove this with a website, news report and a packet with a quiz.
Big Idea:
There are past effects and current effects of weather and climate. Giant Idea:
Weather patterns, climate zones, and ocean currents are studied by the multiple perspectives of biologists, ecologists, meteorologists and oceanographers

According to http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/climate.htm: Africa has Tropical, Dry and Temperate climate zones. Asia and Europe have Tropical, Dry, Temperate, Cold and Polar. Australia has Tropical, Temperate and Dry. The Americas have Tropical, Dry, Temperate, Cold and polar.
What are all the tools meteorologist use?
According to https://www.learner.org/exhibits/weather/forecasting2.html: Meteorologist use a variety of tools. They use thermometers to measure the temperature. They also use anemometers to measure how fast/slow the wind is traveling. They use barometers to asses the air pressure. They use satellites to figure out when huge storm systems are approaching. These satellites will help them predict when hurricanes, monsoons and other large storm systems. Meteorologist use a thing called a doppler this is part of using a satellite.
Do meteorologists study ocean currents and tides?

How do you operate a barometer?
According to http://www.artofmanliness.com/2015/07/07/fair-or-foul-how-to-use-a-barometer/: Barometers were often used by aircraft operators, sailor, and plainout ordinary people. Barometers test air pressure to find the upcoming
