Exploring Air Masses and Fronts

The video tutorial covers the materials needed for a science lesson on air masses and fronts. It outlines homework and quiz details, reviews weather topics, and introduces interactive activities. Students are instructed to work with partners on web quests about air masses and fronts, with specific tasks for cold and warm fronts. The teacher emphasizes the importance of staying on task and provides guidelines for working with a substitute teacher.
