Overview
Students will learn how satellites are used to predict weather. Then the class will use images from the satellites to predict thunderstorms.
NGSS Standards
MS-PS4-3 Integrate qualitative scientific and technical information to support the claim that digitized signals are a more reliable way to encode and transmit information than analog signals.
MS-ESS2-5 Collect data to provide evidence for how the motions and complex interactions of air masses results in changes in weather conditions.
