WISCONSIN SCIENCE FESTIVAL: WEATHER MACHINE PROGRAM
Discover the basics of the Earth's "Weather Machine" - sun, air, water, land, and ice. We'll learn how the global weather machine is responsible for Wisconsin's climate and compare our climate to different regions of the world. Then, head outside on the Retzer trails to measure current weather conditions and make predictions about our weather based on the season.
