How Reliable is the Temperature Forecast?
Christmann, Edwin P.
Science Scope, v28 n7 p62-64 Apr-May 2005
Project 2061 suggests "technology provides the eyes and ears of science--and some of the muscle too. The electronic computer, for example, has led to substantial progress in the study of weather systems...." Obviously, now that teachers have access to a kaleidoscope of technological advancements, middle school science teachers can engage students in classroom activities that are inquiry-based and technology-rich. The activity discussed in this article is designed to let students assess the accuracy of Internet-based weather forecasts through technology-based inquiry. (Contains 5 figures.)
