Geography Teaching Today

The Royal Meteorological Society is the Learned and Professional Society for anyone whose profession or interests are connected with weather. MetLink is the flagship dedicated educational website of the Society to be launched in early March 2010, with weather and climate resources aimed at primary and secondary school teachers, students, teenagers, children and the general public.

On the site you will find a whole range of materials including informative powerpoint presentations looking at cloud types, weather hazards and phobias, lesson plans for all key stages, an indicative guide of where meteorology can link with the curriculum for different key stages, how you can book a Meteorology Ambassador to come to your school, information regarding meteorology careers, courses, qualifications and employers, colouring sheets, puzzles, topical weather articles and more! A whole host of over 150 meteorology education and careers related links can also be found on the site.

Material will be continually uploaded throughout 2010 and beyond. Plans for future projects include increasing the number of lesson plans and teaching aids and producing after-school club material. Any questions, comments on the website or suggestions for materials to be produced would be welcomed and should be directed to the contact below.
