Earlier CoVis Curriculum:
Online Weather Scenario Preferred by middle school teachers because only small bits of information is given per page and the navigation is very sequential (use of "CONTINUE" buttons). This online scenario introduces the meteorological concepts required to understand the structure and processes involved in the creation of a winter storm.



Access to Real Time Weather Data:
The Interactive Weather Report A java-based visualization tool for constructing weather maps. Ability to add and remove meteorological fields almost instantaneously, plus interactive image capabilities. Must have a java-capable browser.
The Weather Visualizer Generate customized weather images through a point and click interface. Built in helper sections provide explanatory material about features available.



Neighboring Projects:
Where is Cynthia San Francisco? Developed by New Jersey Networking Infrastructure in Education. This project will send your students on a real world scientific investigation in which they will use Internet based resources to solve the crime of the century. For a two week period, your students will receive clues which will lead them to the location of the United States' leading nuclear physist, Cynthia San Francisco, who has recently been kidnapped by a hostile organization. These clues will come from real-time weather data, such as satellite images, weather stations and current weather maps. Students will use interactive weather web sites in conjunction with the clues to determine the location of Dr. San Francisco.
