School Programs
Weather: Wind, Water & Temperature
Observe how these atmospheric phenomena interact with each other to create weather. Demonstrations model cloud formation, precipitation, and the collision of warm and cold fronts in order to show how slight changes can have dramatic effects. Students watch a hot air balloon lift off inside the school, pressurize a tank to create enough wind to power a cannon, and witness clouds form inside a chamber.
Capacity: 6 classes (150 students) per presentation; 1 to 2 presentations per day.
Schedule: Available during school hours, Monday - Friday.
Space / Special Requirements: Gym / auditorium / cafeteria or other assembly-appropriate space.
