Beginning fall 2001, 8th grade
students at Charleston Middle School will join with students from
Carl Sandburg High School, Orland Park, IL and a growing community of
students and teachers from other schools in an ongoing study of the
atmosphere. The study will focus on gaining a better understanding of
the forces that influence our weather and climatic change using new
visualization tools developed for use by the Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement Program (ARM). The effort is part of a collaborative
grant between Eastern Illinois University, The University of Utah,
Argonne National Laboratory, the National Science Foundation, and
ARM. It is the goal of the project partners to contribute new
visualization tools, data, educational lessons, and engaging
activities to a National Science Digital Library
collection.
