Weather Map Interpretation

Abstract

This site from SERC's Starting Point presents sample Gallery Walk questions about weather map interpretation. Students explore several weather parameters including fronts, pressure cells, and precipitation. Groups synthesize various weather variables, create a weather forecast, and present the material in either an oral or written assignment. The questions are organized according to the cognitive level at which students are engaged, using Bloom's Taxonomy. Educational levels: Undergraduate lower division, Undergraduate upper division
