We are looking for teachers who are interested in participating in DataStreme Atmosphere, a teacher enhancement program of the American Meteorological Society and supported by the National Science Foundation.

DataStreme Atmosphere is available to teachers for all grade levels (K-12) and subject areas. Below are examples from DataStreme Atmosphere Alumni illustrating the diverse ways in which real-time weather data, via the Internet and the DataStreme Atmosphere course, was brought into their classrooms.

• Appleton, WI and Princeton, NJ
  Technology classes are "loaded up" with DataStreme Atmosphere information links. Satellite and weather radio receivers include ever more technology for the classroom.

• Mt. Vernon, IA
  Art studies see beauty in snowflakes and rainbows while health includes safety from heat, cold, and severe weather threats.

• Dallas, TX and Bristol, CT
  Physics classes study weather examples of forces, energy transfers, convection, wind vectors, and Doppler radar.

• Lake Oswego, OR
  New weather laboratory activities are added to traditional earth science classes.
