Basic and advanced principles, theories, concepts, and procedures/techniques from areas of astronomy and meteorology will be covered in this comprehensive and introductory level course. Astronomy is the science of celestial bodies and their magnitude, motions, and construction. Lab activities and experimentation will include modeling, graphing, and simulation type exercises. Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and weather, including air masses, fronts, clouds, winds, storms, weather satellites, and weather modification. Reading weather maps and supplementary skills will be used for weather analysis and forecasting.
