Whatever the Weather teachers' pack and trail
Whatever the Weather is an exhibition that tells the story of weather, from how it works, to its effects on the natural world and how people through history have dealt with weather. It also looks at climate change and what we can do to prevent it from damaging our planet further.

The accompanying trail will lead groups around the exhibition and this teachers' pack will give some additional ideas for work back in school and links to weather related venues and websites. It also includes a trail which highlights weather links in the rest of the museum.
