Explore Earth’s climate
Experience the science behind Earth’s climate
April 8-June 1, 2024
Climate is weather measured over many years. And while day-to-day weather patterns definitely impact our lives, scientists observe and research climate to better understand past, present, and future conditions for humans and all life here on Earth.
From interactive presentations by museum partners to guided activities in the exhibits, these events and experiences show how climate matters in big and small ways.
