MetLink is a public resource created by the Royal Meteorological Society to assist educators seeking to edify their students about meteorology and climatology. The well-designed website has six primary sections, including Observations and Data, Teachers, and Resource of the Week. This last area is a fine place to start, as it brings together a range of well-considered resources that might include anything from a cloud identification key to a set of interactive graphics demonstrating the formation of thunderstorms. In the Observations and Data area, visitors can learn about weather stations in Britain, meteorology fieldwork, and over a dozen different weather experiments. The Teachers area contains links to curricular materials, including guides for in-class demonstrations, quizzes, and fact sheets. Finally, visitors can also sign up to receive email updates about the work of the Royal Meteorological Society.
