Thames & Kosmos Climate & Weather Science Kit | Learn About Climate Change, Global Warming, Ocean Currents | 23 Stem Experiments | 48 Page Color Manual | Winner Dr. Toy Best Green Toy Award
Description
The state of Earth’s atmosphere affects us all, which
explains why the weather is one of the most popular topics of conversation and
Scientific study. With 23 hands-on experiments, you can investigate specific
weather phenomena as well as the climate system in general. build a model of
Earth and its atmosphere and then use it to conduct experiments that show how
the global wind system works. Trace air currents from the icy cold poles to
the warm equator and back with a wisp of smoke. Model Earth’s heat reservoirs,
thermals, and global and local winds. Recreate ocean currents in a small basin
of water. Simulate Earth’s rotation and Revolution to learn how the sun
affects the weather daily and seasonally. Learn about the climatic zones and
the composition of the atmosphere. Experiment to see how carbon dioxide levels
affect temperature. Explore the hydrologic cycle to learn about humidity,
clouds, and precipitation. Build a simple barometer, set up a rain gauge, and
track the temperature. Full-color, 48-page manual. From the Manufacturer The
