Come Rain, Come Shine

Activity ONE

Times Square...in New York City... that place where they "drop the big ball" on TV on New Year's Eve...have you ever been there? What's it's like there right now? Wanna find out?

STEP 1

Let's check today's weather forecast for New York City... CLICK HERE (Remember to use the "Back" button to come back to this page once you know the forecast.) Maybe it's gonna be sunny, maybe rainy... maybe it's supposed to snow!

STEP 2

Now that you know the weather... do you know if it's day or night there? Better check that first by looking at which part of planet Earth is in the daylight right now... CLICK HERE (And then come back here again, using that "Back" button!)

STEP 3

OK, now you know what the weather's supposed to be, and you also know if it's day or night. But is the weather forecast really accurate? Was that planet Earth map really true? Let's find out by going on the Internet to a live "Web Cam" at Times Square in New York... CLICK HERE Note: When there, you may need to click on "Enlarge Cam Image". (Don't forget to come back here when you're done looking)

STEP 4

Welcome back! Were conditions there just as you expected? (If not..what do you think could be the reason?) Did you try out the different "Web Cams" available there at Times Square? (If not, you can go back there and explore more.) Next go to ACTIVITY TWO
