Description:
Iowa State University has developed an interactive Web-based severe weather activity, which uses an extensive archive of weather data, emphasizing both warm weather convective events and winter storms. Several variations of the activity have been developed based upon the meteorological background of the students. While primarily for undergraduate students, the developers believe that the activity's flexible design may allow for its use in K-12 classes.
