Project Atmosphere Canada

Sky Watchers Guide to Weather book

For those teaching students at the Grade 4 to Grade 7 level, our Sky Watchers Guide to Weather provides unique resources that address the weather-related learning outcomes of the Pan Canadian curriculum. 

Project Atmosphere Canada book

In collaboration with the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, this high-school level material was adapted from Project ATMOSPHERE modules with the permission of the American Meteorological Society.  
This user-friendly material explains in simple terms the basics of weather.  It's filled with fast facts, activities, and experiments to help you help them.  You can use this guide as a stand-alone resource, or you can join in the program and make science class the best part of your students' day! Fourteen different modules deal with a variety of weather topics from Coriolis Force to Hazardous Weather and from El Nino to the Jet Stream.  Each module also contains classroom-ready activities that can be copied for your students' use.  
For a closer look at the contents of either program, click on one of the binders above, and you're on your way!
