This
standards-based
module
uses
hands-on
activities
and
real-time
data
investigations
to
allow
students
in
the
elementary
grades
to
investigate
weather
phenomena
both
locally
as
well
as
in
other
places
around
the
world.
By
using
hands-on
activities
and
real-time
data
investigations,
the
students
will
develop
a
basic
understanding
of
how
weather
can
be
described
in
measurable
quantities,
such
as
temperature,

This
is
a
web-based
activity
using
satellite
images
of
the
Gulf
of
Maine
and
the
Carribean
Sea.
Students
are
asked
to
examine
satellite
data
of
sea
surface
temperatures.
From
this
data
they
are
to
determine
the
temperature
scale
and
how
temperature
differences
are
indicated.
They
also
examine
phytoplankton
density
images
to
determine
where
high
phytoplankton
densities
are.
Additional
activities
are

The
Gulf
Stream
Voyage
is
an
online
multidisciplinary
project
which
utilizes
both
real
time
data
and
primary
source
materials
to
help
guide
students
to
discover
the
science
and
history
of
the
Gulf
Stream.
Students
will
investigate
this
great
ocean
current,
how
it
affects
the
Atlantic
Ocean
and
some
of
mankind's
experiences
dealing
with
it.
This
