Stormy Weather

Come take a simulated field trip through a storm! People and animals coexist and experience the same natural phenomena such as weather. During storms people and animals both seek shelter. Use Project WILD's "Stormy Weather" to visualize what kind of animal you will be and what you will do during the storm. Will you be a bear in the woods? A meadowlark on the prairie? Or a frog on a stream bank? Experience a storm through another animal’s eyes!

Family Fun:
Make a rain shaker and create a storm of your own! http://www.greenhour.org/content/activity/detail/8239#make
