The Zula Patrol: Mission Weather

The Zula Patrol, those colorful and energetic Galactic fact gatherers have been planet hopping across the Solar System on their never ending quest for knowledge.

They’ve finally landed on Earth to study the weather on our home planet.

We can experiment right along with them and learn what weather is, how it works, what affects it, and how it affects us.

This compact 1,000 square foot exhibition is anchored by five freestanding installations that combine to create the colorful cartoon world of Zula.  Captain Bula, Professor Multo, Space Pilot Zeeter, flying wonders Wizzy and Wigg, and Space Pet Gorga invite you to apply the scientific method.  Learn all about clouds, precipitation, wind, temperature, and other weather phenomenon.

The exhibit addresses the developmental needs of children by increasing scientific knowledge and habits of mind, addressing National Science Education Standards meeting National Association for the Education of Young Children Curriculum Guidelines, providing different types of play opportunities, and providing opportunities for children to exercise Multiple Intelligences.

The Zula Patrol is a multifaceted brand of learning tools including an animated television series, outreach program, classroom activities, permanent and traveling museum exhibitions, and digital dome theater show aimed to provide early science and reading literacy for children in preschool through 2nd grade.
