Teachers’ Area
Welcome,
teachers! Are you willing to join our adventure and travel with us?
This web site was designed with 4th graders in mind, but it can be modified
for use on other levels, too. Browse through our page, and hopefully,
you will find some exciting and enriching activities to enhance your curriculum.
Our
main objective is to discover and follow the summer and winter seasonal
patterns of the jet
stream across the continental U.S.A. using real time data. As we travel,
we plan to stop at a key city in each of the five major regions to collect
scientific profiles. While we are there, we have also included a
visit to some points of interest to help us get a feel for the city.
You will
find many opportunities to use the lessons provided. They are applicable
to all content areas, and each one is infused with technology. The
lessons are modular and can be used independently so that you can pick
and choose what best suits your needs. The overall activities, which
integrate Gardener’s Multiple Intelligences, were written for whole group
presentations, teacher demonstratons, and/or small, cooperative group projects.
So if you want to
know what’s down below
Just don your parachutes and
go with the flow.
Our great adventure has just
begun.
Come join with us ,,,, it
should be fun!
