Meteorology

Meteorology is an engaging module that combines academics with concrete hands-on activities. Students use DEPCO’s exclusive Microclimate Chamber, which simulates atmospheric conditions, in order to explore, manipulate, and gather information in a controlled environment. Students change the temperature and pressure to vary the relative humidity, as they gain an understanding how one weather condition effects the other. In addition, students download, log, and interpret weather updates on local temperature, humidity, wind speed, and rainfall from a weather station located outdoors.
