Each of us lives in a physical place with homes and gathering places and natural landmarks yet we also can be distracted by communication technology. How can noticing where you live affect your understanding of weather and science? On this episode, we talk with an innovative team of researchers and partners from the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance, RTI International, and schools in Maine, Mississippi, and Alabama who encourage students to notice local geography as they learn about science.
