Project Earth Science: Meteorology, Revised 2nd Edition, involves students in activities that focus on the origin and composition of Earth's atmosphere, factors that contribute to weather, and the concept of air masses and how they interact to produce weather. With 19 hands-on, teacher-tested classroom activities, 11 background readings, and a supplemental resource guide, this new edition provides teachers and students with the necessary tools to bring the atmosphere right into the classroom-without blowing the budget.
