Live satellite weather imagery. PT classification: students observe real-time global weather patterns no recorded video or paper map can replicate.
Live satellite imagery of weather formation
The class watches live satellite imagery on the projector showing current weather systems globally, with the teacher pausing on a depression forming over the Atlantic, a high-pressure ridge over central Europe, and a developing cyclone in the western Pacific. Students observe the cloud movement, sea-surface temperatures, and isobars. The teacher links what they see to the textbook diagrams.
