Teachers, check out these great graphics! This is how I kick off my Meteorology unit, asking students to record what they think the difference is between weather & climate. (They often think weather = precip & climate = temp.) We revisit at end of unit.
Weather and climate are connected, but they are not the same. Weather is what we experience day to day. Climate is the longer-term patterns that help explain what is changing, what is becoming more likely, and what communities may need to prepare for. Climate.us helps make those connections clearer.
Perfect weather day to read Bleak House at the beach! We are in Week 12 and the pace of the action is really picking up! #TeacherSky #Dickens #SlowRead
How do you find victory in defeat? On paper, Cape Verde’s 3-2 loss to Argentina on Friday, “To see the commitment and the resiliency with the players and the pride, made us proud,” said Paulo De Barros, president of the Cape Verdean Association of Boston. via @wgbh.org

Today is #ShowYourStripes day! This year, St Michael's Tower atop Glastonbury Tor is encouraging everyone to use the Climate Stripes to start a conversation about climate change and the actions they are taking. Thank you @nationaltrust.org.uk! Graphics: www.ShowYourStripes.info
showyourstripes.info/l/northameri... Today is #ShowYourStripesDay The biggest change I’ve seen in my lifetime in the Boston area is how high the summer dew points are now. Just brutal humidity compared to records in the 1970s to 1990s.

Michael Anthony Pope, a science teacher at the headquarters of U.S. Army Japan, considers himself one of the "forgotten ones." But he'll soon be remembered as the first Defense Department teacher to be named to the National Teachers Hall of Fame. From Stars and Stripes' Marc Castaneda:
