We are trying to teach people about snow. For the people who live in an area that has snow, it is important to learn how to live with the snow safely, and things to do in snow that are fun. For people who live in an area without snow, we are trying to teach them different things about snow that they might not have known. There are many different things related to snow, like glaciers, the water cycle, sports, books, etc., which we include. Hopefully people will learn that there is more to snow than just flakes falling down!

Urban Heat Islands: Cooling Down our Cities and Preventing Stormwater Runoff
Students will research the problem and find out what solutions already exist, how they are implemented in other areas, and what works. Students will then come up with their own solution - either a use of an existing solution, or a new use for an existing technology. Along the way students will use the Internet, library, and other publications for research. They will also attempt to contact experts in the field who can give them an understanding of the issues around the problem and the possible solutions. Once they have completed the project they will share their results with the school and local officials.

We explained how weather conditions such as fog, rainbows,
hail, clouds, and rain occurred. We researched thunder and
lightning, cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes and
wrote about them in a section called storms. El Nino and the
Greenhouse Effect were also explained. In fact, we tried to
explain what happened during the Greenhouse Effect by
creating a hand-drawn diagram. We created a hand-drawn
weather map and explained what a cold front, warm front, and
a stationary front were. We talked about some simple
weather instruments. We interviewed a meteorologist and
recorded his answers on one of the web pages.
Our educational objectives were:

Design informative web pages based on curriculum taught to
third and fourth graders in California
Learn to use a scanner and digital camera

The group is basically working on the theme "Weather". It is a fascinating topic to work on since we are amazed by the nature's sytematic phenomenon. Each of the elements is introduced to the audience in an interactive manner in order to bring the message forward to them in a fascinating way.
The younger generations tend to take the natural occurance of the weather for granted and by exploring on this topic, hopefully it is an eye-opener for these groups to appreciate the beauty of life and love the surrounding.
The group is only focusing on the basic elements of weather ( the project scope)since the topic is such a vast one if one has to actually concentrate deeply.
We hope that by relaying the knowledge to the cyber-audiences. they could benefit fully the content of this project in a beneficial way.
