The Science of Weather for Homeschoolers

Thursday, October 30, 2014
10:00 am11:30 am

What’s the difference between weather and climate? How is weather measured and predicted? What are scientists saying about climate change? Homeschool students will find the answers to these questions and more as they delve into the fields of meteorology and climatology through engaging exploration of weather instruments, air masses and fronts, weather maps, cloud formation, temperature, atmosphere, climate zones, and severe weather.

Along the way, students will practice broader science skills, including observation, experimentation, description, and measurement. The program is designed for students ages 8 to 12. Students should come prepared with a folder, paper, a writing utensil, comfortable walking shoes, and clothes that may get a little dirty. Outside time will be a part of every class.

This eight-week program meets Thursdays, October 2 to November 20.

Fee: $55 members/$70 non-members ($10 sibling discount)
