Let’s explore the various elements of weather to understand how rain forms and why some storms bring thunder and lightning. We will take a look at more extreme weather events like tornadoes, waterspouts, and hurricanes. We will examine the different types of clouds and create our own rain cloud in a jar to see how rain forms and falls from clouds. We'll also make a mini tornado using simple materials to demonstrate how tornadoes spin and gain their strength. These activities will help you visualize and understand the science behind the weather we see every day. By understanding these weather patterns, we can better appreciate the power and beauty of nature around us. We will also examine how climate change is affecting our planet. Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time. While weather can change day-to-day, climate change is a long-term shift. By studying weather and climate, we can learn how to reduce our impact on the environment and make more informed decisions to protect our planet for future generations.
