Text 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.
