Program Description
SUMMARY:
Walloping Weather provides students with an opportunity to learn about weather. They will conduct hands-on experiments to better understand how it rains and what causes lightning. They will investigate the ways in which weather is predicted and measured and will become meteorologists in training. They make their own UV Detector to take home so they can continue to investigate the amazing world of weather.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE:
Walloping Weather is an excellent introduction to the science of meteorology and the forces of nature. Students will be able to apply their newly acquired knowledge from this class when they experience the changes in weather that occur naturally everyday.

NOTE: Mad Science Programs are fun explorations into science and technology, and they encourage informal learning through hands-on experience. All Mad Science workshops include a lot of fascinating equipment, supplies, and take-home materials which the children build themselves. The Mad Science mission is to spark the imagination and curiosity of children everywhere by providing them with fun, entertaining, and educational activities which instill a clear understanding of what science really is, and how it affects the world around them.
