This lesson plan from PennState College of Earth and Mineral Sciences asks students to develop an understanding of air masses and the role they play in weather and climate.
Earth Science: Meteorology: Weather Variables and Systems.
The St. Louis Cardinals are scheduled to play their home opener the next day and Megan Riley, a young meteorologist who works for a private weather consulting firm, is responsible for developing the weather forecast. It’s starting to look like she may need to change her current forecast for rain to snow. Should the Cardinals cancel their home opener?
Students work in small groups to analyze information presented in each part of this multi-part dilemma case and, along the way, are asked to update their forecast: keep it as rain, or revise it to snow.
The case has been used both in an introductory meteorology course and in a capstone course for seniors in atmospheric science. This case study is available at the National Science Teaching Association. Membership is requied to access the case study more than once.
