Description:
The Virtual High School (VHS) project is a collaborative of high schools from around the country. In exchange for contributing a small amount of teaching time, a school in the collaborative can offer its students NetCourses ranging from advanced academic courses to technical and specialized courses. (See web site for more information.)

In the Atmospheric Interactions course, simple meteorological observations are interwoven with web based assignments, problems, graphing activities, and writing assignments. Students learn that weather and climate involve the transfer of energy in and out of the atmosphere. They learn how winds and ocean currents are produced on the Earth's surface, and other aspects of weather and climate.
