To conclude our sky lessons, we went on a field trip to the local weather center. Hector was so gracious to give a power point lesson, answer questions, and take us on a little tour of their center. The kids learned about what to do when the roads are flooded and if there is a lightening storm.
They loved it when Hector answer the question incorrectly and his little friend got struck by lightening.
Hector then showed us a weather balloon and explained how it worked.
One of the kids asked about tornados, and he just happened to have a tornado maker that he pulled out.
Everyone got to touch it, too.
Watch out!! Tornado spotted at the Weather Center.
Then, Hector took us into the room where all their information streams to and from. He showed the kids their computers and how they send out signals to the city.
Thanks, Hector. We loved our weather lesson.
