We are developing ideas and tools for weather related teaching and learning activities. Currently there are 3 weather stations in MCPS (SMS, AMS, BMS) and 1 in GCPS (NES) that we are exploring. We have ways of obtaining the data from the stations, and we are working how to display and share that data so that it can be useful for teaching and learning. Please let us know if you have ideas and resouces that might benefit these goals. Here are some of the resources and ideas so far.

Weather Station for cross-grade collaboration
6th grade: Data Collection
7th grade: Prognostication
8th grade: Data Collection
Weather Magazine / News Forcast
Weather discussions (has been done in the past at BMS by Utin)
Jason Zietz is working with some technical ideas here.
