Eleventh Grade Weather & Atmosphere Science Projects (1 result)

Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.

- Charles Dudley Warner

Do a science fair project in this area and at least you'll be able to talk with more authority! Weather and atmospheric science offer lots of opportunities for interesting projects. It's a satisfyingly complex area, with lots of online resources so you can make your project as easy or as advanced as you want. And when you're done, you'll have a science fair project everyone can talk about.

Tracking Geomagnetic Storms in the Ionosphere
Science Fair Project Idea
The Sun is the ultimate source of the energy that powers weather systems on Earth. Geomagnetic storms are sun-powered storms in the upper atmosphere, arising from energized particles that are periodically ejected by the Sun. Among other effects, geomagnetic storms can wreak havoc with earth-orbiting satellites, and disrupt satellite communications. The global positioning system (GPS) is a network of 24 earth-orbiting satellites that constantly sends radio signals through the earth's… Read more
