WeatherOnline!

Weather Online was developed by the Weather Network. This site is a good informational site for students to use in researching concepts in weather or as suplimentary material for a weather unit. The main areas of this site are Tropical Weather, Local Weather, Expert Weather, Weather Tools, Weather Q & A, and Weatherboy Online. The two areas that would be most informative for students are the Local Weather and the Weatherboy Online. The Local Weather allows students to get weather information from any area in the United States. The information includes 4 day forecasts, satellite images, precipication and radar images. Also there is an area called Dr. Dewpoint, where questions can be answered. This area also incorporates math (algebra) concepts such as calculating wind chill or making temperature conversions. Weatherboy Online will be another good place for students to visit. Weatherboy is an animated character that explains concepts of weather and the how's and why's of weather.
