    Not computer science related, but our popular thematic unit on weather created for grades 1-4, once served from faldo.atmos.uiuc.edu, is now available here:

    The Weather Unit

    The Weather Unit was one of the first examples of any curriculum made available on the World Wide Web. Developed in 1994, this unit consists of 19 lessons related to weather spanning 11 different subject areas: reading, math, social studies, physical education, science, etc. Check out the paper describing The Weather Unit at:
