Grade 5: On Board With Weather

Batten down the hatches…

Come aboard and learn how weather affected all aspects of Midway life from launching and recovering aircraft to re-supplying the aircraft carrier at sea. Students will plot longitude and latitude positions as they participate in a simulated hurricane tracking activity. In addition, with the use of wind meters, students will track relative humidity, dew point, wind speed and temperature on board the flight deck of Midway. Our on board workshops are designed to teach Content Standards: Earth Sciences (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d).
Program fee: $7 per student

Special Value:  Combine your On Board visit with the use of our self-guided student audio tours.  This On Board Plus program is available for the discounted rate of $10 per student!
