Preparing for WES in Northern Virginia

Beth A. Jewell, AMS/AERA and West Springfield High School, Springfield, VA

The course, Water in the Earth System (WES) Online, incorporates inquiry-based instructional strategies and a holistic concept of Earth from oceanic, atmospheric and terrestrial water and problem-focused perspectives. It is designed after the highly successful DataStreme distance-learning course, and investigates the mass and energy flows associated with the global water cycle, and with related issues. Participants in this course through investigations of the global water cycle, will look at the value of Internet access to environmental information in classroom applications.
