Education


 

A great benefit of CoCoRaHS is that it provides real science activities for the classroom. Over the last several years, CoCoRaHS staff have worked with science teachers to develop a series of lesson plans and activities.  These lesson plans are developed for a variety of grade levels and are built around CoCoRaHS's emphasis on measuring precipitation. Below, we also have a short list of teacher-recommended educational resources on meteorology.
