THE WEATHER SHOW
Peter and Mary Ann Hart present a refreshing mix of scientific facts with the visual action and excitement of puppetry to lead young audiences into exploration of the vast topic of weather. A great introduction for younger grades and it also motivates older grades' interest. 

The program includes a Study Guide that features web site links, lesson plans, and information that enhances Georgia QCC standards.

Perfect for Earth Science months or any time of year that the study of weather is part of the curriculum.

• The performance begins with action scenes of animals as they portray "weather exaggerations" -  descriptions of weather conditions commonly used in everyday conversation.

• The topic of "Weather Lore" is introduced and explored with fun scenes of animals engaged in curious behavior. Cats, birds, spiders, squirrels, and flies depict sayings that have been used through the years to forecast weather changes. Scientific explanations of air pressure, humidity, and more give reason to why animals and insects behave as they do.

• An American Indian myth lends a multi-cultural look at the weather in the legend of "The Storm Bird".

• The subject of wind and its effects is then explored in a scientific manner using the Beaufort Wind Scale. It's a highly visual depiction that literally "brings down the house"!

• Audience participation is featured in a segment that explores the subject of lightning.

• The performance concludes with a review of instructional  notes on what to do in severe weather conditions and how to protect one's self in situations of extreme heat and cold.
