Have you ever laid in the grass and watched the clouds pass by?  Springtime means the beginning of thunderstorm season, and there are different factors that must come together for storm clouds to develop.  In this JAM, you will learn how and why warm air rises and watch an experiment to see what happens when hot air meets cold air.  Scientists who study weather are called meteorologists, and these scientists use tools to measure all sorts of weather indicators.  One feature of thunderstorms is high winds, and you will learn how to measure wind as you construct your own anemometer.

**NOTE: This is the same topic/class as the JAM Session on Saturday, May 22nd**
