A Heat Transfer Kit, two insulated containers (called calorimeters), thermometers, and an aluminum transfer bar make it possible to study the transfer of heat from a substance in one calorimeter to a substance in the other.
Isotherm Lab
Isotherms help us to identify both warm and cold air masses. Isobars show areas of high and low pressure. In this lab you will practice drawing isotherms and isobars and locating air masses and areas of different pressures.
Pressure, Temperature And Mass-Relationships
A great way to "see" the relationships between temperature, and mass of air as it is being compressed.
Station Model Lab
Through this lab you will learn to understand station models used in meteorology by coding and decoding a variety of stations.
Weather Analysis
Students will determine how weather variables can be used to predict the weather.
Flat Bottom Clouds
In this investigation students will form a cloud in a bottle, find the dew point and relative humidity of air at different places in the school and use a chart to estimate how high that air would have to rise to form a cloud.
Air Masses And Fronts
Students will make models of air mass movements using corn syrup and water.
Latent Heat Lab
Help students understand the science of Chinook Winds, microbursts, and hurricanes
Rain Shadow Lab
Students model the rain shadow effect by walking up and down the stairs in your school.
Evaporation And Condensation
This is a simple, yet effective, activity to reinforce the processes of evaporational cooling and condensational warming. It can be done as a class or given to students as a 'hands-on' activity and exercise in following directions.
