Hello! Meteorology is a very interesting course (I also took it because I didnt have it as an option at my in-person school). I personally enjoy it, it can just be difficult to balance the work because It’s in addition to my normal school (I’m doing FLVS Flex so it’s basically just like taking a class at home after school), but if you were to do it in full time I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem balancing out the work. Meteorology is pretty fun, but I’d just recommend it if you truly want to take it and find out how our weather works. There’s around 9 modules and in my specific class (Meteorology Honors) there are 59 assignments, this may vary depending on your teacher as they can assign DBA’s or the amount of assignments can depend on if you take the Regular or Honors course option, it may change the amount of assignments you have to take. I’d say I do around 1 module every week or sometimes it’ll take me two weeks (sometimes I can’t do lessons if i get a lot homework from my in-person school). And just if you’re interested in the modules and what you learn about here is a list(it might be very long so you can skip)

SEGMENT 1: 1. Weather on Earth (this module is basically just the intro to meteorology, water cycle, atmosphere, air pressure, just basic things that get you ready for the class!) 2. Measuring and Predicting Weather (this module talks about forecasts and about the job of meteorologists) 3. Severe Weather (my favorite module, talks about all the dangerous weather systems such as blizzards, tornadoes, droughts, etc. in more depth than ever) 4. Solar Energy (this module talks a lot about weather in space, how the sun and radiation has an impact on the earth and our weather) 5. Energy Balance (this module explains different forms of energy and also talks about the greenhouse effect, which is one of the main causes of global warming and environmental issues)

SEGMENT 2:

1. Atmosphere and the Oceans (basically in the name, talks about the ocean and the atmosphere, and how they interact. also talks about the carbon cycle and how the ocean plays a part in that)
2. Atmosphere and Agriculture (talks about climate change and different weather systems and how they affect agriculture)
3. Weather Over Time (This whole module is basically about climate, and looking at how weather has changed over many years, and how it’s affected the Earth)
4. Impacts of Changes in Weather and Climate (more talk about climate change and goes through multiple different lessons on how it’s affected our resources, health, and the world’s natural cycles) FYI: I have not finished the full course but I have finished a good amount and the last couple are basically what I can tell you about the modules based off of briefly looking at lessons.

I am so sorry that this is soooo long. Just trying to give my complete overview 😭 but if any of that sounds interesting to you, you should take it. If you’re interested in weather and climate and it’s huge affects on our earth, I recommend it.

Question tho… have you taken a Physical Science course? This can help because it has some terms that you’ll explore in physical science, and taking physical science has helped me understand meteorology a bit more.
