Ever wonder why the clouds look like fluffy cotton balls one day and gray blankets the next? Grab your tool belt and join us for Wacky Weather, a hands-on STEM program where Girl Scouts dive deep into the science of the skies!
In this session, we won't just talk about the forecast-we'll build the tools to predict it ourselves. Every great scientist needs the right equipment. You will engineer and take home your very own DIY Weather Station, featuring:
- Anemometer: Measures wind speed to see how fast the air is moving.
- Wind Vane: Pinpoint exactly which direction the breeze is blowing.
- Thermometer: Track temperature changes throughout the day.
- Rain Gauge: Capture and measure precipitation like a pro.
Once your station is built, we'll look up! You'll learn to identify different cloud types-from wispy Cirrus to towering Cumulonimbus-and discover the secrets they hold. By the end of the day, you'll be able to use the clouds to predict whether you'll need sunglasses or an umbrella.
Cloudy with a chance of... earning your newest Wacky Weather fun patch!
Notes:
- For the safety and supervision of our participants, each troop is responsible to ensure they have enough adults present to meet Activity Safety Checkpoints. Those attending individually also need to be accompanied by an adult.
- This event is for registered Girl Scouts and girls interested in joining a Girl Scout friend to try out the world of Girl Scouting and the opportunities offered through our program. We are sorry, but we cannot accommodate tagalongs at this event.
