Abstract
In an effort to bridge the gap between scientific research, teacher instruction and student learning, the CERES Students´ Cloud Observations On-Line (S´COOL) Project offers a unique perspective on how to narrow the divide between the ´real´ world and the classroom. Reality-based learning has become a staple in the education of our youth and the S´COOL Project has taken this concept one step further
