In The "A" Train Express, students will take a ride on the "A" Train
Express. They will learn how weather affects everyone's daily lives.
Students will see national and international scientists using
satellite technology to help improve weather forecasting and our
understanding of aerosols and clouds. They will also be introduced to
two NASA satellite Earth Science missions, CALIPSO and CloudSat. By
conducting inquiry-based and web activities, students will make
connections between NASA research and the mathematics, science, and
technology they learn in their classrooms.
