Willkommen im Klimalabor (de)
ETH Treffpunkt Science City Workshop, 26 November 2017

Im Rahmen vom Erlebnissonntag "Wir gehen in die Luft" vom ETH Treffpunkt Science City hat BACCHUS und andere Mitarbeiter des Insitute fuer Atmosphaere und Klima, ETH Zurich, einen Workshop zu Wetter und Klima organisiert und durchgefuehrt. Kinder im Alter zwischen 7 und 12 Jahren konnten in einem Experiment eine Wolke in der Trinkflasche erzeugen udn lernten die sich Wolken bilden und warum sie in der Atmosphaere wichtig sind. In einem weiteren Experiment wurden die Luftstroemungen auf der Erde nachgeahmt und so viele Details ueber die Luftstroemungen auf der Erde und das Klima erfahren. Die 45 minuetigen Workshops wurden ganztaegig durchgefuehrt, sodass rund 120 interessierte Kinder zu Wetter- und Klimaexperten wurden.

Being a weather and climate researcher for a day
Girl's Day at ETH Zurich, July 2017

How is it to be a weather and climate researcher? On 20 July 2017 18 girls (10 and 13 years) visited ETH Zurich and learned about weather and climate. The girls had the chance to measure atmospheric parameters (e.g. relative humidity and pressure) with their instruments built by their own during the course, simulated the global circulation and learned about the climate system.

The event was organized by IACETH in collaboration with the ETH gender equality office Equal!. The experiment day was advertised as a Pro Juventute event.

ETH Science City Junior children's lecture on top performances of the atmosphere, November 2014

The atmosphere is full of top performances! There are many examples: tornadoes can reach wind speeds of up to 500 kilometers per hour - even the speediest formula 1 car can only go as fast as 370 km/h. And who would have thought that cloud droplets can grow by one hundred times their size in only half an hour to become rain drops? Who knows how much a lightning flash heats the surrounding air? This and more Prof. Ulrike Lohmann presented to a lecture hall filled with curious children on 16 November 2014. Click here to see the November 2014 ETH Science City brochure.(de)
