Ages 5 - 12 Become a meteorologist-in-training, and discover how hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms develop, and how powerful they can be! Investigate the ways in which weather is predicted and measured. Conduct hands-on experiments to better understand why it rains and how lightening is formed. See a spectacular chemical energy display and understand how fireworks are made. Make your own UV detector to investigate amazingly wild weather!
