Description:
In a series of activities that are segregated into four skill levels, learners explore on-line resources that provide current weather information. The emphasis of these activities is on using information to investigate scientific questions, creating models, and making predictions. Many activities require learners to record electronic information over several days, share data with learners at remote locations, and conduct analysis using image processing technology. Quizzes and essay questions are provided for assessment.
