Saving the best for last, below is a link to UCAR's Window to the Universe. It has three levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced. Clicking on "Space Weather" takes you to the weather events that occur outside our atmosphere, but affect our weather and communications.

Clicking on "Our Planet" takes you to several subjects that show you the basic components and driving forces that make up our weather. You'll learn about climate, the hydrosphere, atmosphere and the ecosystem.

There are lesson plans, tours, pictures, animations, even experiments and projects you can conduct yourself or with a student or family member.

We appreciate that you have a link on your website to the Windows to the Universe website. We would like to alert you that this website has moved, from http://www.windows.ucar.edu (or http://www.windows.umich.edu) to http://windows2universe.org (Windows to the Universe was started at the University of Michigan, moving in 2000 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, and most recently in 2010 to the National Earth Science Teachers Association.). We would appreciate it if you could update the link(s) to our website on your website. Thanks very much, Becca Hatheway, Windows to the Universe Education Designer for Roberta Johnson, Windows to the Universe Director, Executive Director of the National Earth Science Teachers Association
