Welcome to our Activities, Experiments and Investigations index page. These are a sampling of some of our favorite "things" to do in studying about the weather. The listing is far from complete, but it should give you a good idea about how we use weather as a bridge to multi-disciplinary education.

Many of these activities, experiments and investigations are from our published materials (this link takes you to our web store). You are free to use the activities in your classroom. Should you wish to use any of these in any other way, please contact How The Weatherworks^TM...for permission. THANKS!

Finally, this page has been coded to appear in either Arial or Helvetica font for easier reading. If you do not have either of these fonts installed on your system, the Netscape or Internet Explorer default font should operate.

• NEPHELOCOCCYGIA
  This activity involves looking for shapes in the clouds. There's also a great interactive language arts activity.
• SKY WINDOWS
  What color is the sky or the clouds? Check it out using this "unique" weather instrument. You'll never look at the clouds in the same way again.
• NOAA WEATHER SATELLITES
  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the parent agency of the National Weather Service, launched a new geostationary weather satellite April 24, 1997 and another May 3, 2000. Weather satellites are a great way to study clouds and cloud patterns from above. HOW THE WEATHERWORKS will be publishing a set of four weather satellite posters in the Fall of 2003.
• More activities to be posted in the future -- Please come back and check out the latest additions.
