8th Grade Science Days

We are happy to present NOAA Boulder’s  2020 Virtual 8th Grade Science Days, an indepth look at our science. Kids will have the ability to put on their science caps and spend time in the shoes of scientists studying anything from the floor of the ocean to the surface of the sun.  For over 10 years NOAA in Boulder, Colorado has brought 250 eighth graders to our facility to spend the day with many different scientists, and learn what they do in their labs, forecasting offices and research settings.  This year our facilities are closed to visitors, so we are excited to bring this event virtually to many more students.

You will find eight topics, each with a video and activity.  The videos were all recorded by our scientists in August and September of 2020.  The activities were created to be done with minimal supplies.  They can be completed by students in the classroom or at home, in a group or individually.  The website will be available all school year.
