Weather and Climate Adventure Pack - Storm Signal

Storm Signal

Weather and Climate Adventure Pack

Something in Earth’s atmosphere is out of balance.

High above the ground in a secret storm monitoring tower, explorers track powerful weather events and shifting climate patterns. Winds are changing unexpectedly, temperatures are uneven, and storm signals no longer match what scientists expect. Ari Raider has detected a disturbance inside the Global Weather Command Station and needs explorers to investigate.

In Storm Signal, students move through control rooms and observation decks, learning how weather and climate work while using real science knowledge to stabilize Earth’s atmosphere. Along the way, they explore the difference between weather and climate, uncover how air pressure creates wind, and discover how uneven heating drives weather patterns — all while working toward unlocking the Mystery Mine, where the Professor hid a specimen.

This adventure turns weather science into an exciting, story-driven mission with optional hands-on discovery.

Each Storm Signal Adventure Pack explores the following weather and climate topics:

• Weather vs. Climate – Understanding short-term weather conditions and long-term climate patterns

• Temperature and Heat – How the Sun heats Earth unevenly
• Wind and Air Currents – How global and local winds affect weather
