Overview

The purpose of this activity is for students to learn how weather impacts the shuttle mission: it can delay a shuttle launch, and can affect their targeting of images.  They will use the web to obtain current data from NASA and current weather maps. 

Materials

Map of average cloud cover

Getting Ready

Use the web to download current satellite images for a) the world and b) North America.  Arrange the computer monitor so students can see the images, or print them and make copies for each student.
