Elton,
We do something very similar to what the Fort Worth Museum of
Science & History does. The local television weatherman comes in two
Tuesdays a month during the school year to do a 30 minute program for school
age children in grades 2-6. He does a presentation and then takes questions
from the audience. He also brings along a cameraman who shoots video that
airs on that day's newscast. It is a great partnership for our center and
the local television station. It is also great free publicity for our
center.

Hi, All;
We are redoing our weather exhibit area. We currently have a
partnership with our local National Weather Service office and have data
feeds of their information as well as kiosk weather quiz computers from
them, and we have the "standard" weather type exhibits (aeolian
landscape, tornado, fluvial storm, and confused sea). I was wondering if
anyone had any ideas/suggestions for other small hands-on weather
exhibit pieces. I would prefer something that we could fabricate, but
off-the-shelf is a possibility.
So, any brilliant ideas, or a concept you have seen somewhere that I can
steal?
Your help is much appreciated.
