Under the Weather

These days, the environment is on everyone’s mind, especially given climate change, greenhouse gases, and the way our lifestyle contributes to both. Under the Weather offers tools to better grasp weather phenomena as the exhibit zeroes in on the climate, how it works, and how it’s evolving. The exhibit also investigates the impacts of global warming and proposes realistic solutions for slowing this warming down.

Games, models, hands-on activities, and objects to see and touch combine to educate and entertain visitors. Thermometer Man guides visitors throughout the site and reveals some astonishing facts. Several stuffed specimens are also on hand to show how climate affects animals. An audio tape of ambient sounds enhances the visit.
