What can we teach?

We can present on just about any weather related topic to any group. For schools we have several presentations we can give to your students. One is called Weather Basics (30-40 min) in which we cover where the weather comes from, cold/warm fronts, high/low pressure etc. This course is designed for late elementary school or middle school students, but can be tailored as needed. The second presentation covers severe weather (30-45 min) and some safety tips (all ages). If you prefer, you can simply have one of our meteorologsts meet with your group for a session called Ask-a-Meteorologist (30-60 min), in which we answer as many student questions time allows.
