Understanding Weather

Grades 7-13, Win

If a volcano erupts, how will the weather be affected? Students can investigate such fascinating questions with this documentary-style program. Thirteen modules crammed with videos, animations, maps, and diagrams explore topics such as the atmospheric moisture, temperature, weather change, and urban weather. Each module teaches students weather concepts and invites them to look at case studies illustrating those concepts. Then they can evaluate their knowledge through interactive activities. Menus and clearly labeled buttons make navigating this exciting program easy.
