10. How Do You Make a Weather Satellite? (booklet adapted from original work by Ed

Koenig and suitable for grades 2 to adult) see PDFs at www.scijinks.gov teacher’s corner. Spanish and Italian editions available online. Spanish

hard copy now available. Booklet in .pdf or Flash format that explains in very basic terms how orbits work and all the components needed to build

a satellite that senses temperature, takes images, and finds out other information about the weather from space. Written by a former ITT engineer,

also includes his notes and background material for presenting the topic using the booklet in the classroom.

11. Wild World of Clouds Poster (great information on the back as well) Poster front illustrates and describes types of high-, low-, and mid-altitude clouds.

Poster back explains Earth's water cycle and the role of clouds in maintaining it and providing fresh water to land plants and animals. A crossword puzzle

and cloud identification quiz reinforce the concepts. See it at: http://scijinks.jpl.nasa.gov/en/educators/posters/index.shtml

12. Wild World of Weather Adventure Game (middle school age oriented) A self-contained board game about all kinds of weather and the places it occurs.

Besides the game instructions, includes two articles and activities on different parameters meteorologists measure and terms they define in order to describe

and predict the weather. See it at: http://scijinks.jpl.nasa.gov/en/educators/posters/index.shtml

the sky that give us the big picture of weather on Earth and on the Sun–and why science is harder than science fiction.

25. Technology Teacher PDF articles by JPL online at www.scijinks.gov educator’s corner:

Originally published in The Technology Teacher, March 2004, by the International Technology Education Association Team Up on the Weather Explains how weather satellites,

teamed with scientists, pilots, computers programmers, and super computers work together to save lives and property by predicting where large storms will hit and giving people time to

get out of the way. Includes a weather trivia game.

Originally published in The Technology Teacher, November 2002, by the International Technology Education Association Write the Book on Weather Metrics introduces weather terminology

invites students to investigate how we measure the weather and other characteristics of the atmosphere and create their own "Book of Weather Metrics."

Originally published in The Technology Teacher, May/June 2002, by the International Technology Education Association Become a Weather Wizard introduces weather terminology. Invites

students to investigate how we measure the weather and other characteristics of the atmosphere and create their own "Book of Weather Metrics."

Originally published in The Technology Teacher, October 2003, by the International Technology Education Association Sizing Up the Clouds The teacher sets up three simulated "clouds"

representing three different cloud types. Students use different methods to estimate "precipitation" contents of each cloud type. Each method is roughly analogous to methods actually used

in weather forecasting. Finally, the "precipitation" from each cloud will be released, and the students will compare their estimates to what is actually experienced on the "ground."

Originally published in The Technology Teacher, September 2001, by the International Technology Education Association Water Works on the Blue Planet Learn about Earth's water cycle and water

budget. Do a poster or mural that shows some of the ways water is transported from place to place on Earth.
