- Precipitation Protocols
- Students measure daily rainfall using a rain gauge; daily snowfall using a snow board; total snow accumulation on the ground; the equivalent depth of rain for both new snow and snow pack and use techniques from the Hydrology Investigation to measure pH of rain and melted snow.
- Max/Min/Current Air Temperature Protocol
- Students use a maximum/minimum thermometer mounted in their instrument shelter to measure current temperature and the maximum and minimum temperatures for the previous 24 hours. Students may also collect current temperature only.
- Cloud Watch
- Students monitor clouds and weather to begin to understand the connections between the two.
- NASA Education
- Educational activities for all levels of education.
