Perry native is senior
field scientist in MD.
The timing of Dr. Jeffrey
Taylor's "Science and Weather" pre
sentation at Twin Ridge Elementary
School in Mount Airy, Md.,
couldn't have been better.
Students, whose classes began
two hours late due to snow-covered
roads, had weather on their minds.
Many of the students heard
meteorologists predict an ice storm
overnight Friday but awoke
Saturday to the kind of snow ideal
for building snowmen, throwing
snowballs and sledding.
"The weathermen thought it was
going to rain and freeze, and instead
we got three inches of snow," Dr.
Taylor said.
"Is the weatherman right a lot of
times?" asked Dr. Taylor, senior
field scientist for Ferkin-Elmer
Corp., a Norwalk, Conn., company
that manufactures analytical in
struments. He works at the com
pany's sales and technical support
office in Rockville.
The fourth graders in the audience
didn't hesitate to shake their heads
"no" in answer to Dr. Taylor's
question.
He gave presentations to fourth
and fifth graders Monday. His
daughter Allison, 9, a fourth grader
at the school, attended the first pre
sentation.
Much of the reliability of a
weather forecast, like a lot of
science, depends on the detail of the
data, Dr. Taylor said. The limita
tions of instruments, he said, can
limit the precision of scientists.
One of the instruments used by
weathermen is a weather station,
much like the station installed on
the second floor of the school, he
said.
The station, one of the few in
elementary schools in Frederick
County, was installed about the
same time the new school opened
on Aug. 31, said Dr. Dan Gadra,
assistant superintendent for plan
ning and facilities for county
schools.
The weather station serves two
purposes, Dr. Gadra said.
First, he said, the station is a
good learning tool for students
studying weather in th’eir science
classes.
Second, the station seems to ease
concerns of the community, he
said. He said Dr. Taylor was one of
the area residents who proposed the
weather station so that wind speed
and direction could be monitored at
the school.
Residents were concerned about
the school's proximity to Myers
Fertilizer plant. In case of an emer
gency, information about wind
speed and direction could be consid
ered by school officials deciding if
action, such as evacuation, is nec
essary, Dr. Gadra said.
The weather station records tem
peratures, barometric pressure, as
well as wind speed and direction.
As part of their science curricu
lum, students will be plotting high
and low temperatures, wind speeds
and directions and otherwise making
good use of the instrument, school
principal Emily Sines said.
Following Dr. Taylor's presenta
tion, fourth graders agreed the
weatherman still has his place in
their lives, even if his science is
not always dependable.
"I usually watch the weather in
the morning to help me pick out
my clothes," said Micah Mathews,
10.
"But it doesn't always work," said
Mike Klein, 10. After hearing Dr.
Taylor's talk, he said, he sees how
instruments could hamper a fore
caster.
Still, though, imprecise science
is better than no science, students
said. Even if that means you some
times end up pulling at the neck of
that sweater when the temperature
climbs to an unexpected 90 degrees.
"I'm just going to believe the
weatherman. I'll just go with his
word-but he could be right or
wrong," Micah said.
Dr. Jeffrey Taylor is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Olin Taylor of Perry
and is a 1971 graduate of Perry
High School.
Taylor also graduated from
Georgia College in Milledgeville
and obtained Masters and Doctorate
degrees from the University of
Georgia in Athens.
