WILD WEATHER

How wild is your weather? This set of eleven interactive exhibits, based on the physics and mathematics of wind, air, heat, light and sound is an exciting hands-on approach to understanding the science behind everyday weather. Using devices such as a working weather station, a simulated tornado and a doppler radar, visitors can explore science concepts that are the foundation of meteorology such as the water cycle, wind, lightning and heat. Includes a stoced demonstration kit and Demonstration Guide. A sample Teachers Guide is included. Additional Teacher Guides are available for purchase at $17 each. Each venue must supply approximately 7-gallons of distilled water per week of operation.

Requires a minimum of 750 foot ² space, four sturdy pediments (alternately two eight-foot tables) and a 110 volt power for each each exhibit. All exhibits either roll though or can be carried though a standard size door. Movable by two people (Tornado will require a heavy duty hand truck). Ships in custom fitted blanket wrapping.

Cost: $3,600 for 12-week venue. Certificate of Insurance, inbound and outbound shipping are the responsibility of the borrower.
