Full Project Description:
Perceiving weather conditions in other parts of
the United States and the world can be a difficult concept for children.  Because they live in the "here and now", children assume that the weather in
their area is the same as everywhere else. This project is designed to pair classes located in different climatic zones who will then exchange specific
weather information on a weekly basis. At the same time, weather information from all participating classes is input and posted on the World Weather
Watch Automated Results page so teachers and students can do more global comparisons if they desire.  Those teachers who would like to participate, but who don't want to make the
commitment of being a partner class, may register to just input their weather information on the weather results page.



Objectives:
To create a simple across
the curriculum project that
 teachers can use in their
classroom as they feel
comfortable with.  This
teacher/student friendly project
can be used in any way that it
fits your curriculum.
