1. A Computerized Weather Station for the Apple IIe.

Author

Lorson, Mark V.

Abstract

Predicting weather conditions is a topic of interest for students who want to make plans for outside activities. This paper discusses the development of an inexpensive computer-interfaced classroom weather station using an Apple IIe computer that provides the viewer with up to the minute digital readings of inside and outside temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, precipitation, and daily high and low temperatures. Instructions describe methods for creating a working weather disk that contains the main computer program, calibration files, and several programs used to create and read data files for the weather factors being studied. Diagrams illustrate the configurations for the weather station, the wind vane, the shutter station, and the electrical circuitry of the computerized weather system. A supply list for the commercially made components and the BASIC programs of the system are provided. (MDH)

2. Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education: Resources and Guidelines. The Curriculum File.

Author

ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education, Columbus, OH. and Lorson, Mark V.

Abstract

It has been reported that very little time is spent in the classroom on environmental education subjects unless the teacher has a special interest in the specific topic of study. This lack of time for environmental education coupled with the lack of adequate time allotted for mathematics and science instruction suggests that integrating the three--mathematics, science, and environmental education--into one learning activity can be a productive use of educational time at any grade level. This document presents a justification for integrating these subject areas. It then presents descriptions of 25 projects that are resources for integrated teaching activities for primary and secondary education, all with citations. The activities are documented in the ERIC database and most are reported with ERIC Document Reproduction Service Numbers. (Contains 12 references.) (PR)
