Hands-On Meteorology
Hands-On Meteorology is a collection of
interactive concept models and active learning materials for meteorology instruction. Concept models
illustrate conceptually difficult processes in atmospheric science by having students change model parameters and examine the outcomes. Student note keeping and data export is included.
Active learning exercises are provided as guided instruction to the concept models and to assist teachers
in developing lessons. Active learning exercises are also available for meteorology topics that currently
do not have a concept model.
