Back
in
the
days
of
Christopher
Columbus,
voyages
made
across
bodies
of
water
were
dependent
upon
winds
and
currents
to
drive
the
sailing
ships.
Thus
good
navigation
routes
were
often
determined
by
prevailing
weather
conditions
such
as
the
Trade
Winds,
and
then
discovered
by
explorers.
In
this
lesson,
students
will
explore
the
wind
climatology
for
the
Atlantic
Ocean
basin
(as
determined
by
satellite

Solar
energy
is
radiant
energy
that
is
produced
by
the
Sun.
Every
day
the
Sun
radiates
an
enormous
amount
of
energy.
How
much
solar
energy
a
place
on
Earth
receives
depends
on
several
conditions.
In
this
lesson,
students
will
explore
real
NASA
satellite
data
for
energy
from
the
Sun
and
cloud
cover
for
their
area
to
determine
if
they
can
harness
this
solar
energy,
a
renewable
energy
source,
by
using
