Air Masses, Fronts, and Weather Map Symbols Student Note Taking Guide
This Note-Taking Guide goes along with my Air Masses, Fronts, and Weather Map Symbols PowerPoint that has over 50 slides. If weather and climate/ meteorology is not something you know how to teach, this will cover everything they could possibly need to know. My undergraduate degree was in Geography and Weather and Climate was my area of expertise, so I really always put a lot of effort into this unit. I hope you will find it helps with your class.
