Brown School third-grade teacher Lindsay Willard spent March 13 at the Mount Washington Observatory, known as the home to the world’s weather.
The adventurous professional development opportunity, which aligns with the third-grade science standards, included a tour of the weather station and a chance to shadow weather scientists as they used a variety of instruments to collect and track hourly weather data.
Willard traveled to the summit on a Snowcat with teachers from around New England. She learned about the history of the Mount Washington Observatory and took part in a live video conference with Brown School third graders to share her wild weather experience.
