AMS Education Program Earth-science courses and the associated learning materials were developed by an experienced team of AMS scientists and science educators to bring high quality and scientifically robust educational resources to university and college classrooms nationwide.  Components of the courses are delivered online, allowing students to track real-time weather, ocean and climate events as they occur.  These resources were developed to support and sustain the AMS K-13 professional development programs for U.S. educators, and promote AMS disciplines to the general public.
