The Sky's the Limit: A More Emphasis Approach to the Study of Meteorology

by: Eric A. Walters

This chapter features curriculum for the senior Meteorology elective at the Marymount School of New York—an all-female, independent school in New York City. The curriculum is aligned with the National Science Education Standards (NSES) More Emphasis criteria so that students are guided in an active and extended study of weather forecasting. In their course of study, students use a textbook only as a reference and use the web as their primary learning tool. This curriculum, as well as the development and implementation of a hybrid e-learning course in Meteorology, has been most successful.
