Adventure 09 · Weather, Climate & Severe Storms · Grades K–3

Storm Chasers

A cavern big enough to grow its own weather — wind screaming down the tunnels, fog on the floor, sparks jumping in the air. Six stops, six problems to put right, six Digs to recover. Free, no logins, no accounts. Led by Stormling, the Realm's hero Adventureling.

Assigning one stop

  • Every stop has its own address. Stop 4 is /pages/storm-chasers#stop-4 — paste it straight into Google Classroom.
  • Progress is remembered on the device, so a class can do one stop a week and pick up where it left off.
  • Each stop runs 10–15 minutes. The finale needs all six done first.

The six stops

1. The Howling TunnelsWind is moving air. You can tell how strong it is by what it moves. A gentle wind stirs leaves. A strong wind bends whole trees.2. Lightning HallIn a storm, get inside a building or a car. Do not stand under a tall tree. Do not stay in water. Tall and wet are the dangerous places.3. The Dead CalmWeather is what it is like right now. Climate is what it is like most of the time, year after year.4. The Flash VaultLight travels much faster than sound. That is why you always see the lightning first and hear the thunder after it.5. Hailstone HollowHail starts as a raindrop that gets carried up into the freezing top of a storm cloud. It freezes into a ball of ice and falls. Some things fall from clouds as water. Some fall as ice.6. Static GrottoEach weather tool measures one thing. Two of them watch the wind: one shows which way it blows, the other measures how fast.

What the kit adds

The adventure is free and always will be. The Storm Chasers kit adds the part a screen cannot do: six real specimens, six Digs that come sealed with the label scratched off, six Gemlings in a blind bag, and the printed map with Stormling on it. Finish a stop online and that location's Dig is yours to open for real.

Finished Storm Chasers? The online adventure is the half you can do today. The other half is a real specimen in your hand — six of them, one per stop, sealed in a Dig with the label scratched off.
