Let’s Talk Weather: Buckingham Elementary Weather Detectives
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- On Thursday, the fourth-graders at Buckingham Elementary School got a visit from KTVZ Chief Meteorologist John Carroll to discuss weather forecasting.
The students were curious about the origin of the word "meteorologist" and found out it has little to do with meteors. They all became "weather detectives," as John discussed how a meteorologist must look for clues to solve a mystery - and the mystery is the forecast.
They also enjoyed topics like the water cycle and the Adventures of Robbie the Raindrop, Carroll's children's book.
The KTVZ Local Alert Weather team would like to thank Ms. Sullivan for contacting us and helping arrange the visit.
If you's like one of our meteorologists to come to your school, you can email john.carroll@ktvz.com or shannon.brady@ktvz.com and we can sort out the details of our visit.
