Meteorology for Teachers
(Secondary Education 744)

There are few aspects of the physical environment that influence our daily lives more than the phenomena we collectively call weather. Newspapers, magazines, and television stations regularly report a wide range of weather events as major news stories, an obvious reflection of people’s interest and curiosity about the atmosphere and its effect upon us.

This meteorology course aims to take advantage of our natural interest and curiosity about the weather and answer many of the questions that students have about our atmosphere. The course content will be aimed at teachers who are looking for an introduction to meteorology and atmospheric science or teachers who would like a solid review of basic meteorological concepts. The course will be taught online using the University of Wisconsin D2L online service.
