Presents a quiz in programmed format which reviews some ideas covered in an elementary study of clouds. (MLH)

Presents a brief introduction of our atmosphere, a guide to reading and interpreting weather maps, and a set of activities to facilitate teachers in helping to enhance student understanding of the Earth's atmosphere. (ZWH)

Article describes how study of weather can be made interesting in classrooms. Individual and group investigations for students are suggested. (PS)

Discusses the eleven-year sunspot cycle and its effect on the temperature and precipitation in the world's weather zones. (MLH)

Examination of the snowfall and total precipitation data for Rochester, New York, suggests a correlation with sunspot activity. Data from other locations tend to support the thesis, but the ability to predict yearly snowfall or total precipitation amounts from sunspot activity has yet to be developed. (Author/CP)

Suggests a number of ways in which Federal Aviation Agency weather report printouts can be used in teaching the weather section of meteorology. These weather sequence reports can be obtained free of charge at most major airports. (JR)

Presented is a unit composed of activities for teaching weather. Topics include cloud types and formation, simple weather instruments, and the weather station. Illustrations include a weather chart and instruments. A bibliography is given. (MA)

Discusses the structure and formation of snow crystals, outlines the history of snow removal, and describes techniques that can be used by students for studying snowflakes and relating their structure to the conditions under which they were formed. (JR)

Uses a vortex device as a model to study low-pressure systems and other related investigations. (LS)

Explains the arrangement of materials in a classroom to simulate land or weather conditions. On each desk in the room pertinent bits of information are placed. Students gather bits of information and synthesize material into an overall map of the area. (CP)

Discusses the use of a blackboard demonstration and a vacuum pump apparatus to explain that, in adiabatic meteorological processes, rising air is cooled and sinking air is heated. (MLH)

Presents procedures for weather studies as exciting and relatively simple research projects for students to perform. Expects that students gain an accurate view of the scientific process in addition to real-world experience as they face challenging setbacks and make unexpected discoveries along the way. Includes cross-curricular applications.…
