“Winds of Change” a multi-media tool to aid teachers in teaching global climate

In an effort to help strengthen the nation´s science, math and technology education and at the same time promote educational systemic change, all new space projects at the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) now incorporate in their mission plans detailed educational outreach efforts. These outreach programs are done in partnership with the educational leadership of national, state and local agencies, organizations and class room teachers. The Winds of Change is the first educational resource developed under these conditions that provides a new type of educational tool. Winds of Change has been sponsored by the NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) mission as its first educational product and an example for other NASA or technical organizations who also wish to contribute to enhancing science education
