Discover the basics of the Earth’s “Weather Machine” – sun, air, water, land and ice. We’ll learn how the global weather machine is responsible for  Wisconsin’s climate and compare our climate to different regions of the world. We’ll also head outside on the Retzer trails to measure current weather conditions and make predictions about our weather based on the seasons.
