Version - List of Sites:
1. Dan's
Weather Page
Site
Location: http://www.wildwildweather.com
This is a site created by a bona-fide
meteorologist from Alabama. The site is
user-friendly and has a few
age-appropriate links, but its real
strength lies in the weather worksheets
and activities it contains.
2. Bay
Kids Weather Page
Site
Location: http://tqjunior.thinkquest.org/3805/
A page created for kids, made by kids
themselves. Although the site is kid-created
and contains a large amount of information
on temperature, degrees, and thermometers,
it is a diffcult site to navigate through
without hitting a few dead links. I
recommend using this site primarily as a
resource.
3.
Clouds
Site Location: http://seaborg.nmu.edu/clouds/
This is a fantasic website revolving around
cloud cover and the formation of clouds. It
lists the names of the different types of
clouds and has a great link to a very
accurate description of the water cycle.
4.
El Nino
Site Location: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/toga-tao/el-nino/home.html
Although this site is entitled "El nino,"
it provides great information of tropical
storms in general. This site also has a few
terrific pictures of El Nino, which is great
for showing students the complexity of a
tropical storm.
5.
The Current Weather
Site
Location:
http://www.cnn.com/WEATHER/index.html
This is a basic site off of cnn.com, and it
updates the current weather, including
temperature and humidity. There are also a
few links that enable you to check out the
weather in other parts of the country, which
is a great way to illustrate to students the
differences in climates based on location.
