The Science center for Teaching, Outreach, and Research on Meteorology (the STORM Project) at the University of Northern Iowa (Cedar Falls) will sponsor a short course entitled “Studies in Air Quality for Science Educators” on June 21-26, 2009. This intensive, one-week course is designed specifically for middle school and high school science teachers. Participants will receive a stipend. Expenses, including travel, will be paid by the STORM Project. Out-of-state teachers are encouraged to apply. For more information, see:

Exploring Light Energy Interactions with Earth Features is a NASA sponsored web site that is part of the Digital Earth Watch (DEW) project. In this workshop, you will learn how to use an interactive web site designed to teach students how to use remotely sensed data to assess and monitor Earth’s environments. This web site includes interactive activities, self-paced lessons, and a teacher data base where all student results and responses are recorded. It also includes all teacher materials. Students will learn to understand relationships between the electromagnetic spectrum and features on Earth. They will discover the usefulness of remote sensing in their everyday lives, and how remote sensing can help to solve local, state, and national environmental problems. The workshop is most applicable to teachers teaching, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Geography, Geology, and some aspects of Life Science. Additional materials developed by other “Digital Earth Watch” partners will be discussed. Click here for a brochure with a link to an application.
