This
on-line
project
is
part
of
the
Center
for
Improved
Engineering
and
Science
Education
(CIESE)
program,
which
has
developed
internet
activities
for
the
elementary,
middle,
and
high
school
level
student.
Students
measure
the
temperature,
record
the
number
of
minutes
of
sunlight
per
day
over
a
predetermined
week,
and
determine
their
global
coordinates.
Each
class
then
posts
their
data
to
this
web

In
this
activity,
students
will
study
data
from
satellite
temperature
images
and
underwater
sensors
(CTDs)
to
look
for
evidence
of
an
upwelling
off
the
coast
of
New
Jersey.
Based
on
their
new
knowledge,
they
will
use
real-time
ocean
data
from
the
Coastal
Ocean
Observatory
Laboratory
(COOLroom)
to
create
their
own
ocean
weather
forecast
for
the
local
newspaper.
Students
will
discover
that

In
this
lesson,
students
will
collect
and
graph
data
on
air
temperature,
relative
humidity,
and
dew
point
to
observe
why
these
variables
change
(or
do
not
change)
during
the
day.
Graphs
are
constructed
by
using
free
downloadable
software
(WxScope).
By
making
observations
of
qualitative
and
quantitative
changes
in
these
variables
with
time,
they
will
understand
the
advantages
of
using
dewpoint
temperature

This
activity
provides
students
with
an
understanding
of
the
different
weather
patterns
that
exist
across
the
globe.
Students
begin
by
gathering
and
graphing
average
temperatures
for
a
number
of
U.S.
cities
over
the
course
of
a
year.
They
then
find
and
graph
average
temperatures
for
two
stations
in
Antarctica
for
the
same
time
period
and
end
by
offering
explanations
for
the
differences
they
have
discovered,

In
this
activity
students
design
and
execute
an
experiment
through
which
they
will
learn
the
distinctions
between
density,
buoyancy,
and
volume.
Students
are
asked
to
imagine
a
staysail
schooner
loaded
with
mid-ocean
ridge
basalt
as
it
floats
in
a
swimming
pool
in
Woods
Hole.
They
must
determine
what
will
happen
to
the
water
level
if
all
the
basalt
is
dumped
over
the
side
into
the
pool.
