Building on classroom materials developed for the National Weather Service (NWS), the COMET Program will create an innovative pilot module of interactive, laboratory investigations for undergraduate introductory atmospheric science courses. This pilot module entitled: "Weather Satellites: Types, Imagery and Applications", is developed in collaboration with educators experienced in curriculum, course, and materials development. It engages non-science majors in active and visual representations, replacing existing, static laboratory materials with four-dimensional illustrations of atmospheric sciences concepts and weather phenomena. The project provides interactive data collecting activities, and related field experiment guidelines. Additionally, it provides imbedded K-12 classroom activities for the estimated (up to) 20% of introductory course students who will go on to teach. Materials are developed in the context of "best teaching practices" and science content standards published by the National Research Council (1996). Project is the initial step toward the creation of a series of comprehensive, contemporary laboratory activities for introductory weather and climate courses.

COMET 计划以国家气象局 (NWS) 开发的课堂材料为基础，将为本科生大气科学入门课程创建一个创新的交互式实验室调查试点模块。该试点模块题为“气象卫星：类型、图像和应用”，是与在课程、课程和材料开发方面经验丰富的教育工作者合作开发的。 它让非科学专业的学生参与主动和视觉表现，用大气科学概念和天气现象的四维插图取代现有的静态实验室材料。 该项目提供交互式数据收集活动以及相关的现场实验指南。 此外，它还为估计（最多）20% 将继续教学的入门课程学生提供嵌入式 K-12 课堂活动。 材料是在国家研究委员会（1996）发布的“最佳教学实践”和科学内容标准的背景下开发的。 该项目是为介绍天气和气候课程创建一系列全面的当代实验室活动的第一步。
