Visits to the Bureau of Meteorology The Melbourne exhibition area at 150 Lonsdale Street is now closed due to works associated with the Bureau's move to 700 Collins Street next year. A new exhibition area in the Docklands building is expected to be ready for visitors towards the end of 2004. However, if you live in regional or rural Australia, there may be a Bureau office nearby. Our offices welcome school visits, subject to availability of staff and operational requirements. Look for your local office in the telephone book under 'Bureau of Meteorology', or contact the Bureau Regional Office in your state.

Extractions: Elementary meteorology and atmosphere lesson plans. Good weather and atmosphere lesson plans begin with basic elements of meteorology, such as temperature and pressure. What is so important about air pressure? We could begin these atmosphere lesson plans and air pressure experiments with a map entitled barometric pressure today. Isobaric analysis (pressure drawings using isobars) help forecasters identify major features such as surface highs, lows, ridges and troughs. Places where cloud patterns and fronts lie consistently. Meteorologists rely on pressure maps and use them throughout their work. Here is your chance to see how to build your own website like this!

Materials Needed: ACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONS AND PROCEDURES: Physical Science As an introduction to the weather unit discuss with students how weather affects them each day. Begin by having students record the local daily weather data in their journals on a data collection sheet. Also record the local weather data on a large wall chart. For an example of this go to Photo Album Image No. 3 . A great way to get accurate immediate information is to use the Davis Weather Station. See Photo Album Image No. 4 . If at all possible obtain funds to purchase the Davis Weather Station for your school or classroom. Information can be found at this site Davis Instruments . After studying the satellite images Photo Album Image No. 2

Extractions: Data Analysis for Heat Wave Project Dylan Mathieu Summer 2003 Introduction Although there is no exact scientific definition of a heat wave, meteorologists tend to agree that a heat wave constitutes several consecutive days of extremely high temperatures. Often, this heat is accompanied by high levels of humidity, which further the negative effects of the high temperatures upon the body, making the temperature intolerable. Heat waves are very dangerous to humans, in fact, along with frigid cold of winter, heat is considered to be the deadliest natural hazard in America. While a heat wave poses few visible threats, unlike a tornado or thunderstorm, it causes damage by taxing a human beyond his or her limits. Under normal conditions, the body produces perspiration, which evaporates, thereby cooling the body. There are several negative effects of a heat wave, and certain categories of people are more susceptible to these dangers than others. The first condition people often suffer from is heat cramps. While not dangerous, these are the first sign that the heat is affecting the body.
