Below you will find LOTS of information about weather!
Hurricanes, Weather models, forecasts, weather records here in Pittsburgh, Mr. Penn's trip to Antarctica and the weather there, Severe Weather and more!
Here you can see what the Meteorologists use to predict the weather - real computer weather models!
It defaults to the the GFS (Global Forecasting System) but you can choose regions and different models to see all sorts of predicted weather variables! - See Mr. Penn for help running the models!
Snow Cover at Earth's poles
What's With the Weather Over There? For this activity, the students are going to draw on their own knowledge and experience with weather to predict the current temperatures around the world and then compare their predictions with real-time weather data from selected locations around the world. The students will then be provided with several factors that affect both daily changes in temperature and climatological temperature and develop a hypothesis regarding how and why they think these factors and geographic location affect temperature and climate.
Students will use their prior knowledge with weather (both academic and observational) to make reasoned conclusions about expected weather and climate predictions for various locations and then compare their prediction to actual real-time weather data.
