The atmosphere stretches far above Earth's surface, all the way to the limits of space. How do we study the atmosphere and what is happening within it near the ground, at different altitudes above our heads, and over both land and ocean?
Make an ice balloon to try out cool experiments and make observations using basic items from your kitchen.
Students make observations about lightning from a slow motion video, create static electricity as a model of lightning, and play a game to learn about lightning safety.
