Expert Systems and Weather Forecasting in the 4th and 5th Grade.
Kirkwood, James J.; Gimblett, Randy H.
Journal of Computing in Childhood Education, v3 n3-4 p323-33 1992

As a result of their activities, students took a greater interest in weather phenomena, understood the computer program, and learned to think more logically. (LB)
