Work with COSI's newest Storm Spotter to learn how changes in air pressure and temperature can affect the weather. Students will take and use readings from barometers and thermometers to help them predict basic weather patterns. They will also explore air pressure using everyday objects and understand why changes in weather often occur around cold and warm fronts. All materials for pre- and post-visit activities are included in the kit.

Each program includes hands-on materials for 30 students that will be used during the 60 minute show, and materials for many additional hours of in class activities.
