Weather Watch

Engage with the outdoors and with indoor simulations to understand weather all around us! Weather Watch will help any young meteorologist or weather forecaster learn and test how the weather happens.

In this kit, students will build and test weather models and track their local weather. Students will use these hands-on science experiments to delve into local and severe weather. Weather Watch comes with a full-color Student Workbook and Teacher Guide. This homeschool weather curriculum kit contains activities and information that focuses on the phenomenon of clouds and how clouds are related to local and severe weather.

As part of a special program from Home Science Tools, this Wonder level kit will provide over 6 hours of knowledge, educating your student about clouds, weather, and how to prepare for both.

In this kit, the student will partake in these fun activities:

1. Make a model of a cloud in a bottle.
2. Use three experiments to understand the process of cloud formation.
3. Record their own weather.
4. Make predictions based on weather patterns.
5. Model a severe type of weather – tornados.
