Weather

1999
The web page we created gives information about weather. We explained how weather conditions such as fog, rainbows, hail, clouds, and rain occurred. We researched thunder and lightning, cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes and wrote about them in a section called storms. El Nino and the Greenhouse Effect were also explained. In fact, we tried to explain what happened during the Greenhouse Effect by creating a hand-drawn diagram. We created a hand-drawn weather map and explained what a cold front, warm front, and a stationary front were. We talked about some simple weather instruments. We interviewed a meteorologist and recorded his answers on one of the web pages. Our educational objectives were: Learn to use PageMill (a web-authoring program) Design informative web pages based on curriculum taught to third and fourth graders in California Learn to use a scanner and digital camera Learn to search for information using a variety of sources- Internet, books, interviews, etc. Learn to create web page backgrounds Learn how to organize our time and work together as a team
