Looking for resources to teach about weather or learn about weather? I recently discovered a excellent resource from the National Weather Service called "JetStream".
JetStream is a outstanding website that has a ton of resources for learning all different aspects of weather. Topics cover, for example, the Atmosphere, the Ocean, Thunderstorms, Lightning and information regarding the Doppler Radar.
Here's a sample from their page about Tornadoes:
The Tornado page discusses everything from wind shear, Doppler Radar images and the Enhanced F-Scale. There is also a WMV video file that shows a train being blown off the track by a Tornado. Click here to go to the Tornado page.
JetStream also has several pre-made lesson plans that cover multiple weather topics. Click here to go to their lesson plan page.
