Good inquiry activity. Five day forecasts, radar and satellite images, a severe weather guide and a storm section are available. Students can also chat with Greg Fishel or other meteorologists about any questions they have about weather. The Cable News Network has provided a website on weather. Students can find weather forecasts across the US or across the world.
Weather maps are also available for any area in the world.
Students can also find current news stories on any major weather situations that may be occuring. This site gives a current weather map of the US that is updated hourly. Also, there is a list of sites that can help students research the weather in the cities they chose. A science journal requirement and questions for the students to answer or relect on is also a part of this project. This site has information on and from the National Geophysical Data Center.
