Climate & Weather

The state of Earth’s atmosphere affects us all, which explains why the weather is one of the most popular topics of conversation and scientific study. With 23 hands-on experiments, you can investigate specific weather phenomena as well as the climate system in general.

FEATURES:

• Build a model of Earth and its atmosphere and then use it to conduct experiments that show how the global wind system works.
• Trace air currents from the icy cold poles to the warm equator and back with a wisp of smoke.
• Model Earth’s heat reservoirs, thermals, and global and local winds. Recreate ocean currents in a small basin of water.
• Simulate Earth’s rotation and revolution to learn how the sun affects the weather daily and seasonally.
• Learn about the climatic zones and the composition of the atmosphere.
• Experiment to see how carbon dioxide levels affect temperature.
• Explore the hydrological cycle to learn about humidity, clouds, and precipitation.
• Build a simple barometer, set up a rain gauge, and track the temperature.
• Contains full-color, 48-page manual.
• Recommended for ages 10 and up.

CAUTION: Choking hazard - small parts.
