Furthermore, most weather and climate concepts cannot be taught in the spatial or temporal scale of a classroom using standard equipment to collect data, so educators are required to use software solutions to provide these experiences. The Climate Explorer, NOAA View, and Climate Reanalyzer all provide climate data on a separate platform from weather data, requiring youth to learn a second interface. But Fluid Earth's greatest strength is that it allows educators to readily engage students in examining patterns, a crosscutting concept core to weather and climate, both spatially and temporally within the user interface. Engaging in argument from evidence ht Furthermore, with Fluid Earth (vs. digital weather products available from government weather bureaus or weather information businesses), educators and students have great autonomy over the locations, times, and variables for which they view data and use that data to investigate phenomena.
