About this unit

In this unit pupils collate data from a variety of sources to develop a daily information service about weather. They will use a range of sources, eg a school weather station, measurements, satellite (remote sensing), the internet, other files.

A key aim of the unit is to develop a system that will meet the potential audience's needs. Pupils investigate these needs and then model the system using presentation software, teletext and multimedia presentations.

This unit is expected to take approximately 7 hours.
