Event Details

Do you ever wonder how weather is predicted? Or why dams are built? Or why some buildings survive earthquakes and others don’t? Join a 4-H educator from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Albany County for a 4-week series of fun, hands-on exploration of forces of nature. The activities will include:

  • Making a barometer to help us forecast the weather, and Anemometer to measure how strong the wind is blowing
  • Make a rainmaker to learn about the conditions that cause rain, and a rain stick to listen to the sounds
  • Build a Dam to stop flooding
  • Design and build models of earthquake-proof buildings and test them.

Registration required, for ages 8 to 12 years.
