Weather Station at Anderson Middle School Will Track Berkley Conditions

The device started providing temperature, precipitation and other data online earlier this month; teachers will incorporate the tool into their curriculum.

Anderson Middle School educators have a new tool in their repertoire: The building has been fitted with a weather station that tracks environmental data such as temperature and precipitation. "Anderson is working to develop curriculum to utilize Weather Bug data," according to a Berkley School District press release.

In addition to tracking weather conditions, students – and community members – also will be able to watch storms as they move through the area on the Earth Networks-WeatherBug Weather Station's high-definition camera, which provides a bird's-eye view over Hurley Field.
