Wow! Scientist Julia the Weather Wizard Came today!

    Weather Wizard, scientist Julia came today!

She brought many hands on activities for us to try and talked about a lot of weather terms and information.  We touched and tasted a cloud (made from dry ice and H20). We watched a hail storm (mini star pasta in alkaseltzer water). Experimented with thermometers in cold/warm water. Saw and touched a lightning machine.We made tornadoes with special tornado tubes. Then we got to explore instant "snow".  The class had a great time and learned a lot. We will continue learning about weather and seasons as we continue with our new IB unit "Change, change, change".
