Extension offering Weather Observer Class
 

[November 24, 2015]  LINCOLN - Would you like to have a better understanding of the weather? Would you like to be able to do some basic weather prediction? Are you an educator interested in a continuing educational opportunity?

The University of Illinois Extension is offering a three-hour course that will cover weather basics, observation, and basic weather prediction. Lessons will include presentations and activities on topics such as what causes our seasons, how the wind and air pressure are related, clouds, precipitation, and reading a weather map.

The session will be held at the U of I Extension Office located at 700 S. Airport Drive in Springfield on December 1 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The class may count as 2.5 ISBE Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDUs) for teachers.
