Can You Predict the Weather with Science?
Build a simple barometer using everyday materials and explore how changes in air pressure can signal shifts in the weather. Kids will track the movement of air pressure over time and learn how meteorologists use these tools to forecast conditions.

This year the Winter Solstice, also known as the start of the "astronomical winter" will occur today, December 21, at 10:03 a.m. EST, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year.

Earth is on an axial tilt, which means that as our planet journeys around the sun different areas of the planet experience varying degrees of sunlight. During the winter solstice, the northern hemisphere of the Earth is farthest from the sun, which is what marks this day as the shortest day of the year.
