NOAA -- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Education

We work with academic institutions, museums and science centers, and partners from K-12 to develop materials that support teachers and students. These efforts support broader national initiatives to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. 

 
 

 

Lessons Plan -- Classroom resouces, data, and information for your teaching needs

Understand and learn inside and outside the classroom
Games and Apps - Teach and
learn with games and apps can produce desired behaviors
Teach with a World of Data
from NOAA View - Roles teachers can play in and outside the classroom
Infographics -- Use data, information and visuals to expolore and create fun facts
Continuing Education -- Continuous learning will foster individuals and social development
Teacher Opportunities
-- Integrate data and technology in the classroom can be fun
Videos -- Non-traditional
tools can motivate and teach science
Stay Informed -- Stay
abreast and aware of new applications, science, and research

Continuing Education

Whether it is for personal interest or professional development, there are many ways to continue your education.

The COMET Program creates environmental science education and training curriculum to disseminate and enhance scientific knowledge in the environmental sciences, particularly meteorology, but also including diverse areas such as oceanography, hydrology, space weather, and emergency management.

AMS Short Courses are designed to educate and build careers of the next generation of atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic scientists, and professionals.
