| Students are divided into groups and each group plans the
type of local weather information they will collect. Data could include temperature (at
certain time, daily highs and lows, etc.), barometric reading, humidity, cloud types,
sunrise and sunset times, etc.) Information is collected, inserted in a spreadsheet, and
charts are created. Alternative(s): Collect weather data from the Internet to complete the assignment for a different location, such as a favorite vacation spot. TA (3-5) 4B |

| Students use the Internet to find and
download satellite images of a selected location. Images are used to predict the weather.
Teams will write justifications for their predictions based on the satellite images.
Predictions will be compared to actual weather events. http://www.weather.com/  http://www.usatoday.com/weather/ http://www.wunderground.com/US/TX/ Many local TV and radio station have weather web pages. |
