CloudLabs Water Balloon Fair
Read full descriptionHide full description
In this simulator, you are a participant in an event at an amusement park. There you must fill four (4) balloons with water and launch them towards a target. Then, determine the distance at which you launched them. To do so, you must identify and classify some basic characteristics of the balloons, such as weight, size, capacity, as well as some measurable units, such as the speed at which they were launched and their length.
Rainfall Sandbox
Explore the relationship between weather and landforms by building your own world. This simulation allows you to experiment with different terrains and observe how rainclouds interact with them, revealing scientific principles like orographic lift. It's designed for play-based learning about Earth's systems.
- World building with land and water formations
- Dynamic simulation of orographic lift
- Observation of raincloud behavior
- Play and discovery-based learning
- Introduction to geosphere concepts
- Aligned to 3rd-5th grade science standards

Ever wondered how rainclouds and land impact each other? Why does one side of a mountain seem greener than the other? Build your own world and test out different scenarios to get to the bottom of these questions and discover the secret of orographic lift! Rainfall Sandbox is an engineering simulation where players can choose between various land and water formations to create their own geosphere. Observe how rainclouds form, see where they go, and witness how your landscape changes! * Aligned to educational science standards for third to fifth grade * Grounded in educational psychology research * Sandbox design dynamically simulates the scientific phenomena of orographic lift * Designed for play and discovery-based learning * Introduces students to concepts such as orographic lift, and geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere interactions * Fully standalone learning experience * Designed to be used with SSEC Science for the Classroom Curriculum
