What is WeatherBug Achieve?
WeatherBug provides access to live weather data from weather stations at Eagleville School or Audubon School. Also, it allows you to access any of the [|WeatherBug] and National Weather Stations from around the country and a few other parts of the world. Many WeatherBug Stations have cameras which allow you to visually see changes over time to the environment too. This site has wonderful resources, lesson ideas as well as interactive lessons, and data for teachers and students to learn more about weather across all curriculum areas, but especially science and math. The WeatherBug site can be accessed on-line both in school and at home. It also provides teachers with help tutorials to assist in developing lessons using the WeatherBug site. The best thing of all is WeatherBug Achieve is a site that is safe for kids. There are no ads nor those annoying pop-ups.
