Meteorology
Title: Live from Earth and Mars
Information: http://www-k12.atmos.washington.edu/k12/ This project, based at the University of Washington in Seattle and sponsored by NASA, is developing and will disseminate educational materials based on real time and retrospective Atmospheric Sciences and Space Sciences data and information. These resources will be provided to K-12 educational systems, museums and the public via the World Wide Web, with special emphasis being placed on making the resources suitable for use in science and mathematics instruction in kindergarten through twelfth grade. Local workshops and in-service events will assist teachers to further develop curricula around these products. Atmospheric Sciences resources will be tailored to display and explore the unique meteorology of the Pacific Northwest and the Puget Sound region with live data. Science, engineering, and exploration themes from the Mars Pathfinder Mission are being integrated in descriptive modules and LIVE data from the Mission will be presented when they become available in 1997.
