Overview:
You will learn about weather phenomena and the methods used for weather study. You will measure temperatures, wind speed and direction, the amount of rain and snow, and the amount of cloud cover. In studying causes and patterns of air movements, you will learn about the effects of uneven heating and cooling and discover the same patterns of air movement in indoor environments as are found out-of-doors. You will also learn about human actions that can affect weather and climate and study the design and testing of clothing used as protections against the weather.
