Sam’s Weather School brings the excitement of weather and science to life through interactive, hands-on learning experiences that spark curiosity and inspire young scientists. Led by Long Island broadcast meteorologist Samantha Augeri, students dive into topics such as weather forecasting, storm development, wind patterns, and the highs and lows of atmospheric pressure. Engaging visuals and fun experiments capture students’ attention, and they even have the chance to deliver their own forecast in front of a green screen!
Each session connects real-world weather to core science concepts, fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and alignment with the New York State Science Standards.
With more than 15 years of broadcast experience at News 12 Long Island and Fox 5 New York, Samantha combines her expertise in meteorology with her passion for education. Currently pursuing her Master of Arts in Teaching in Earth Science, she created Sam’s Weather School to encourage students to see themselves as young scientists—ready to explore, question, and discover the world around them.
