STEM Kit: Weather and Climate

This kit will give your child a broad overview of climate and weather.  Experiments  will provide them with basic information about this fascinating topic.  The climate is a massive natural system, but despite its enormos size, often phenomena or changes in the climate are very subtle and hard to detect in a short amount of time.  The experiments in this kit model aspects of the climate on a smaller scale, thus making them easier to observe.  We wish you and your young researcher lots of fun with these experiments.
