Measurements – a very useful site from Ithaca (NY) School District; this URL has links to measurements and calculations in Mr. Culpepper’s classroom; go to “lesson index” and “ICSD Science Zone” for a lot of other neat stuff of particular interest to teachers K-12

Weather

http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/home.rxml This is the site at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign that you should use to study the “Introduction to Meteorology” assignment in your packet.

http://vortex.plymouth.edu/sun/suna.html This is the site for the “Why Are There Seasons?” exercise and contains good information about the cause of seasons on Earth.

http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/news/2003/news-spring.asp NASA for Kids; even better animations of Earth’s rotation/revolution and seasons

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ this is the site suggested in your packet for the “Daily Weather Data and Forecast Chart” assignment. On this site, go to “observations”, “surface weather”, “select a state”, and then choose a city that you wish to study for the next seven days. If you wish to record barometric pressure in inches of Hg that’s OK (or use the hPa – hecto Pascal – reading for millibars because they are the same).

http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalWide.asp?loc=klex&seg=LocalWeather&prodgrp=SevereWeather&product=RadarSummary&prodnav=none Intellicast Weather Site (this is for Lexington, but you can go to national and regional maps to see a lot of weather information). You may want to use this instead of the NOAA site.

http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/iln/current.htm this site is another alternative to the one given in your packet; it takes you to the National Weather Service forecast page for Wilmington OH. Type in any Zip code in the box at the upper left and go to observations for that area.

http://www.wunderground.com/ yet another site to look up weather data

http://www.ametsoc.org/dstreme/index.html

OK, now for some heavy meteorology! This gives you real data about current weather – take a look.

http://rst.gsfc.nasa.gov/Sect14/Sect14_1c.html a nice nasa site about atmospheric circulation
