Why is the weather always changing, and why does Tucson's weather occasionally get so wild in August? Explore the science behind storms, clouds, and monsoons with this month’s Weather theme on the exhibit floor!

Join us at various times on weekends for these demonstrations:

  • Cloud in a Bottle – Watch how clouds can form
  • Beat the Heat – Discover how surface color and evaporation affect temperature

Also, participate in activities like creating your own cloud viewer and tracking the water cycle in a bag! Come learn what makes our monsoon season so unique and how global forces shape the weather we experience every day.
