This is a laboratory course. The laboratory occurs anytime you look out the window or step outside. During the course of the laboratory, you must (personally) photograph a number of the interesting meteorological phenomena you encounter. Obviously, you require some laboratory equipment: a camera. The camera should be with you at all times --- it is your identifying badge as a member of this class --- don't leave home without it!
However, the equipment --- your camera --- is not sufficient. You must always be examining your surroundings and asking why. As a child you were taught to classify things: white fluffy things in the sky are clouds; brown fluffy things on the ground are squirrels. But the ability to classify --- that is, to say what --- will not get you very far in this class. You must be able evoke physical processes to explain why something behaves the way it does.
