| Research Abstract |
An atmospheric information-system which provides real-time weather and air-quality data in addition to local weather-forecasting was developed and continuously used for three years. The learning-modules for weather and air-quality have been developed to promote science literacy. The learning modules were revised from science-teachers' feedbacks. The learning modules were applied to our high-school outreach programs and their final evaluation were executed in the final year. The learning modules especially for in weather forecasting, wind-power generation, ozone depletion and global warming, were proven useful to promote science literacy.
