This site provides an extensive amount of weather information. Includes current information, forecasting, and historic weather related events. Weather map symbols and terminology explained.

Resource features real-time data from moored ocean buoys for improved detection, understanding, and prediction of El Nino and La Nina with diagrams.

The collections in this thematic area provide educational resources that introduce concepts of weather and atmosphere. It provides activities and data for exploring weather and atmospheric sciences, and link to emerging research on these...

Official United States Weather Bureau source for weather maps and forecasts. Contains forecasts, maps, warnings, data, current conditions, and storm warnings.

Students learn about the remote sensing radio occultation technique and how engineers use it with GPS satellites to monitor and study the Earth's atmospheric activity. Students may be familiar with some everyday uses of GPS, but not as...

Check out real-time satellite photos of the earth to study weather patterns.

Teachers will be interested to explore the SkyMath module, and the 16 classroom activities at this site. In this program, students will collect and record real-time weather data to analyze. Data analysis, graphing, number relationship,...

A look at the weather, how it is measured, and how it is caused. Learn what weather is like all over the world, how global warming is affecting our planet, and how "extreme" conditions like hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and drought...

Students determine the relationship between temperature and light intensity. They use a Temperature Sensor and a Light Intensity Sensor to collect temperature and light intensity data for a period of 24 hours. They understand the effect...

In this 3-part lesson plan, students explore California climate and factors that are leading to changes within this climate system. Students begin by exploring California's climate and the state's topography. Next, they investigate...

In this learning module, students are involved in an observational study of air pollutants in the atmosphere. The students collect and examine air quality and weather data, looking for correlations between weather and air quality.

Use remote sensing data and background information to look at regional and global consequences of El Nino. Try working with the 'situation' to test your understanding.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sponsors this El Nino and La Nina resource site that features current and historic information about these weather systems with diagrams.

In this activity, students are asked to graph data about some 20th century hurricanes that hit the Texas coastline. For each graph, they are asked several questions about any apparent correlation between the different variables. Students...
