August saw the retirement of popular WA TV personality, and valued WeatherWatch supporter, Jeff Newman. Jeff fulfilled a number of roles during his time at Channel Seven and presented the weather on Seven News for nine years. During this time he was integral to the development of the WeatherWatch partnership which brings together the Department of Environment and Conservation, Channel Seven Perth and 50 WA school communities each year. Each week night hundreds of students across the state, along with their teachers and parents, have delighted in the acknowledgement they received from Jeff. AirWatch staff wish Jeff Newman all the very best for a well-earned retirement.

AirWatch would like to make special mention of 8 year old Amelia, of Port Kennedy, who designed and conducted her own WeatherWatch project over the summer holiday period. Throughout the month of January Amelia took temperature readings from inside and outside the family home, every three hours from 9am to 9pm each day. With the help of her mother, she has presented her results impressively in table and graph form, outlining the relationship between data from three sources. The results available for download here.
In addition, Amelia has given a summary of her results and an account of the Aims, Method, and Limitations of her study. Her consideration of factors which might skew her results shows an excellent understanding of scientific process. A future scientist …? Let’s hope so. Well done Amelia!
