 In this module, students explore some of the ways
technology can be used to monitor, record, analyze, and predict
weather. Students begin by learning how to use a state-ofthe-
art wireless weather station to gather live data right at the
school. Then, using data available on the Internet, students
learn how to locate, view, and interpret satellite and radar
images, ground station data, and upper
air wind data. Students also access
historical data so they can learn
about past significant weather events,
including hurricanes and tornadoes,
and other events that have been
monitored using satellites, such as
volcano eruptions and large fires. This
curriculum will accommodate 7- or
10-day class rotations.
