"Making Science Fun"

Overview

Weather Scouts is a fun , online learning center for students within the mid-Missouri area. KRCG has developed this program to excite kids about science and encourage them to explore the world around them. Weather Scouts is a teaching tool for parents and instructors that makes learning science fun.

KRCG’s meteorologists, with input from area teachers and administrators, have developed this interactive educational weather resource for middle school students.

The lessons present students with challenging but fun experiments and problems. Students then use the information on the site and other Internet resources to work them out. Lesson topics include; weather vs. climate, water condensation, lightning, seasons, weather maps, cloud classifications, and more.

As part of the program, meteorologist Zach Paul will visit area classrooms each week and talk with students about weather science first hand. Highlights from Zach’s class visits will be featured in the morning news each Friday. Students and teachers will also be able to email Zach questions and comments throughout the year.

If you are a teacher that would like to sign your class up for a visit, just email Zach. Please include your name, school, address, and a phone number. Visits will be scheduled on a first come first serve basis so be sure to sign up now.
