About this app
Air Masses and Fronts is an interactive middle school science app about how air masses, weather fronts, and low-pressure systems shape the weather. Choose an air mass’s birthplace to explore its temperature and humidity, position yourself around cold and warm fronts, and track weather changes as a low moves from west to east. Guided missions use clear numerical goals for temperature, humidity, cloud width, and rainfall.
Use cases
- Middle school students learning weather science
- Teachers demonstrating air-mass properties and fronts
- Learners comparing cold fronts and warm fronts
- Students investigating weather changes around a moving low-pressure system
Features
- Build four air masses by choosing sea or land and north or south
- Explore Siberian, Okhotsk, North Pacific, and Yangtze air masses
- Compare weather ahead of, under, and behind a front
- Track sky conditions, temperature, cloud width, and rainfall
- Compare weather in southern and northern towns as a low passes
- Progress through missions with reset and next controls
