The Weather Station

We have scheduled a few field trips for our joyschoolers this year. The first one was afterschool today at the weather station, where Lila's dad works. It was fascinating. I loved learning about their measurement and prediction tools. I have to say they had quite the presentation with fun cartoon graphics and demonstrations. At the end we watched them launch their weather balloon that collects data in the atmosphere. They do this twice every day. Nicole said her favorite part of the field trip was watching the balloon fly so high that you couldn't see it anymore.
