ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Typically in third-grade students are learning about math, writing and social studies, but the students at Northern Lights ABC school are also learning how to be meteorologists.

Chief Meteorologist Melissa Frey brought the Weather Lab into their classroom and the students were ready to take notes and learn how the weather can be predicted.

They’ve already been busy in science this year. Through reading books, doing classroom activities, and using weather instruments like anemometers they understand how the air moves around the planet, and they know what weather conditions to expect from different types of clouds.

Melissa got to show them why the air does what it does and how she puts all that information together to make a weather forecast.
